An aisled round house with outbuildings, all lying within an enclosure wall. The site, which overlies the west end of the chambered cairn (NF77SW 15), was excavated by Scott in the 1930s and 1940s and pottery, now in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS), indicated a date at the end of the 1st century BC, although sherds dating to the 5th-6th century's AD were also recovered. W L Scott 1935 and 1948; L Scott 1950; L Laing 1975.
The round house is 7.5m in diameter within a wall c. 2.2m thick and c. 1.2m high, with four piers still standing in its north arc. The outbuildings and enclosure wall are barely 0.4m high.
