Two poorly preserved hut circles and a small building situated on a gentle slope c30m NW of an un-named tributary of Allt Tarsuinn were recorded in a pre-aforestation survey by Wordsworth Archaeological Services in November 2000 (site 13). The first hut circle (13.2) lies on the lower slope at NG 68247 10222 close to a large rock outcrop and measures c6-7m in diameter. The second hut circle (13.1) lies c60m NNW (upslope) at NG 68218 10282 and is badly obscured by coarse grass, bracken and peat growth. It measures c6m in diameter, with walls c1m wide standing up to 0.2m high. Between the two hut circles, c 35m NW of the first (13.2), is an oval structure (13.3) largely obscured by dense bracken. It has been built against the hillside with turf walls c 1m high and measures c7m in diameter, with an entrance in the S.
