Three huts defined by low stony banks lie on a gently sloping terrace overlooking the burn gully which runs between Blar Beinn Tighe and Cnoc Mor. Two of the huts are circular and are set side-by-side, the larger measuring 1.9m in diameter within a bank 0.7m in thickness. Traces of a boulder kerb extend away the NW of the hut, and, on the W, the hut appears to overlie an earlier mound that has been damaged by rabbit burrowing. The third hut lies about 15m to the NW, and is separated from them by a stretch of boulder wall. This hut comprises two adjoining circular cells in the shape of a figure-of-eight, each cell measuring 2.2m in diameter within a bank 0.8m in thickness.
(Canna 813-15).
