There are about thirty small cairns (ROG95 949), measuring up to 5m in diameter and 0.5m in height on the crest and SW-facing flank of the semi-improved ridge to the NNW of East Langwell.
A building (ROG95 291, NC 7209 0670) is situated on a terrace at the SW fringe of the small cairns. It measures 8.3m from NE to SW by 2.6m transversely within faced-rubble footings 0.8m in thickness and 0.6m in height; there is an entrance in the SE side. The building is shown as roofed on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1907, sheet xcvi) and, while the 1st edition map (Sutherland 1897, sheet xcvi) also depicts a roofed building at this location, it is aligned from NW to SE. Both buildings may have been associated with the farmstead to the SE (NC 70NW 95)
