Three hut circles stand in rough grazing on the lower flank of Sgurr nan Gobhar. The most substantial ( NG 41475 22471) has been set into the slope and measures 6.2m from E to W by 5.2m transversely within a stone wall at least 2m in thickness and 0.8m in height. The entrance is on the S and there is a later pen within the interior. A second, less well-preserved hut circle lies some 20m to the SSW. It measures 6.2m from N to S by 5.4m transversely over a wall about 1.6m in thickness and 0.5m in height, and the interior of it too, has been levelled into the slope. This is also the case with the third hut circle (NG 41403 22547), which stands 100m to the NW of B and measures 6.2m from N to S by 6m transversely within a bank 2.4m in thickness and only 0.1m in height.
