There is a hut-circle set into the edge of a terrace on the NW side of the A86 road 350m SW of Biallidbeg. It measures 9.2m in diameter within a wall reduced to a stony bank 2m thick and 0.6m high. Occasional outer facing stones are visible, and the position of the entrance is indicated by a gap in the bank, 3.5m wide, on the ESE (KING95 590). On the flat terrace immediately to the W of the hut-circle there is a group of six grass-grown small cairns, the largest 7m in diameter, and to the W and N of the cairns there are intermittent traces of rig cultivation in an area measuring 250m from NE to SW by 30m transversely. The rigs are flat-topped, about 5m broad, and run NE and SW, curving slightly towards the S. This rig is situated at the SW edge of the arable ground depicted on two maps of the Cluny estate, respectively dated 1756 (held by Cluny estate; photographic copy in NMRS) and 1770 (SRO RHP 3489) (see also NN69NE 38).
