The grass-grown stone footings of two huts are evident on visualisations derived from Airborne Laser Scanning data about 15m SE of the fort at Ballycastle (NM71SE 1). The SW hut measures about 4.5m from E to W by 4m transversely within a wall 1.3m in thickness. The second hut, which lies about 7m to the NE, measures about 4.5m in diameter within a wall 1.3m in thickness. These huts do not bear comparison with prehistoric hut circles on Luing (e.g. NM71SW 54 or NM71SW 56) or further afield and are more likely to be associated with much later pastoral activity and the enclosures downslope (NM71SE 14).
