On the N side of Loch Nevis, beside a small burn on the S facing slope below Allt Tunnaig are the remains of a rectangular structure measuring internally 7.0m WNW/ESE by 0.3m within dry-stone walls of semi-dressed stone 0.7m thick and up to 1.0m high. In the SSW wall, 1.0m from its E end, is an entrance 0.7m wide. In the same wall, 2.0m from its W end is evidence of what was possibly the W margin of a window opening.
A pen, about 1.0m square has been constructed in the NNE corner of the structure and a smaller one in the SSE corner.
There are further structures to the S and NE.
Twenty metres NE of the NNW corner is the W corner of a structure measuring internally 3.0m NW/SE by 2.0m within dry-stone walls 0.7m thick and up to 0.5m high. The NW end has rounded corners, the SE end, which is close to the burn, is round. At the NE wall, is an entrance 0.7m wide.
Eight metres S of the SSE corner is an oval structure measuring 3.0m NW/SE by 2.0m within walls 0.7m thick and up to 0.4m high. There is a gap, about 0.6m wide, possibly an entance, at the NW end of the NE wall.
