On the generally S-facing slopes on either side of the Allt a Chamais Fhearna, a structure, two area of rig and two dykes were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Rahoy Estate. One small area of NW to SE oriented rig lies on the W of the burn at NM 6465 5658. The rigs are spaced 2m apart.
On the E of the burn, a stone dyke extends in a gentle arc southwards from a rock face between NM 6478 5644 and NM 6479 5632. It stands up to 1.25m in height. There are some possible linear field clearance cairns and an area of E to W oriented rig cultivation to the E of the dyke.
A further short stretch of dyke, at NM 6490 5638, extends S from an outcrop to an unnamed burn to the SE. There is a possible continuation of the dyke to the S of the burn.
