This gathering fold is situated towards the leading edge of a terrace that narrows to the S and drops to the W overlooking Loch Dun an t-Siamain. Its outer forecourt is defined by two curving walls, the shorter cutting across the S end of the terrace and the longer on the W edge of the terrace with a gap towards its N end. Together these walls funnel stock through a narrow entrance into a small open circular enclosure from which there is access into another smaller enclosure, or cell, on the SW. A further enclosure of similar size stands a short distance downslope to the W, coinciding with the gap in the W wall, such that it is possible that stones have been robbed from the wall to build this.
