There is a solitary peat-stack stance on the NE side of a boggy hollow in one of the terraces that rise up to the summit of Beinn Airein. Trapezoidal on plan, it measures 2.4m by up to 1.8m transversely within a line of large stones, and its interior narrows downhill towards the SW. To the SE of the boggy hollow a sinuous field-bank can be seen.
