This unusual hut-circle is situated on a broad grass-covered terrace to the NE of the confluence of the Allt a' Chaorainn and the River Calder. It is roughly keyhole-shaped on plan, comprising a penannular bank enclosing an area measuring 7.4m in diameter within a stony bank spread to 3m in thickness, with a subrectangular extension to the SE, which measures 3.5m by 3m internally. The relationship of the subrectangular structure to the penannular bank is not clear but it is likely they are contemporary. The entrance is on the SW, opening through the bank adjacent to the junction of the penannular bank and the extension. Small cairns, measuring up to 4m in diameter and 0.3m in height are scattered across the terrace, largely to the NE of the hut-circle. The ground to the NE of the hut-circle has been ploughed for tree-planting, disturbing some of the cairns.
