The slight remains of a hut-circle are situated on an improved natural platform in a small grassy area in rising ground SW of the Margadale River, some 2.2km NW of Bunnahabhain. The wall of the hut-circle survives as a very low bank, about 1.7m thick, which encloses a slightly dished interior 6m in diameter; the entrance was probably on the E. Immediately to the NW of the hut-circle a band of stones, 0.75m thick, can be seen emerging from the peat to cross two shallow grassy scoops before disappearing; the purpose to these features and their relationship to the hut-circle are uncertain.
A large group of shielings (NR47SW 10) lies nearby.
