Full Description
On a terrace on the hillside overlooking the headwaters of the Allt Achadh na Teanga from the S, to the N of a gate in a modern fence, there is a hut-circle overlain by the remains of two subrectangular stone-built huts. The site is overgrown with grass and heather. Below the hut-circle, on the heather-covered slopes to the N and W, there are two groups of small cairns, each group spread across an area of about 0.4ha.
The hut-circle measures 8.1m in diameter within a wall 1.1m thick and 0.3m high. Facing stones are visible on the SE, but there is no apparent entrance - it may have been in the W, where the wall line is overlain by one of the later huts. This hut measures internally 2.5m from NW to SE by 1.5m transversely; the other hut is in the centre of the hut-circle and measures internally 3.6m from WNW to ESE by 2.1m.
