A group of nine shieling-huts are ranged along a grassy terrace on the NW side of the valley of the Second Inchna Burn, some 100m beyond the head-dyke which runs between the Second and Third Inchna Burns. The huts are all subrectangular on plan and lie across the terrace, aligned from NW to SE or from NNW to SSE. The huts measure from 5.2m to 11.7m in length by up to 3.3m in breadth within turf walls spread up to 1.2m in thickness and standing up to 0.3m in height. Five of the huts (MENS97 129, 131-4) are divided into two compartments and entrances are visible in the side walls of just two (MENS97 127, 131).
