There are two hut-circles on a ridge of rough ground to the SE of Garbeg farmsteading, and SW of Brachryriach. The more westerly of the two (URQ97 1) is oval and measures 7.8m from NW to SE by 7.1m transversely within a stony bank 1.7m in thickness and 0.2m in height. There is an entrance gap on the E. A small cairn lies to the SE of the hut-circle and a turf mound to the WSW. The second hut-circle (URQ97 2) lies about 160m to the E, overlooking the NE flank of the ridge. It measures 7.6m in diameter within a bank 1.7m in thickness and 0.3m in height. A gap on the N of the bank may indicate the position of the entrance. On the slope to the N of the hut-circle there are traces of what is probably narrow rig.
