On the E of the public road to Achiltibuie there are two bracken-covered hut-circles and a fragmentary field-system. The NW hut-circle (ACHIL94 552, NC 0212 1188) measures 7m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 1.6m in thickness and standing 0.5m high, with an entrance on the SSE. The SE hut-circle (ACHIL94 553, NC 0218 1184) is smaller, measuring 5.4m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 1.7m in thickness and 0.3m in height, with occasional facing-stones visible.
The field-system comprises low stony banks, mainly visible to the NE of the N hut-circle, to which it is connected by an arm of the main artery of the field-system. The latter runs SE for a distance of 80m from the public road (NC 0210 1193 to 0216 1187), from which two arms are subtended, one leading to the hut-circle, and the second to the shore of Loch Raa.
