Lieu 2000, 7.
This site was originally described as a series of collapsed bothies. The site occupies a piece of land behind a natural promontory, however it does not conform to the same structural dimensions of other bothies on the range. The structure stands alone in the landscape and is a fairly prominent feature there are several circular annexes to the structure. The structure has completely collapsed and as such is in a very poor condition. Without excavation of this building its date and purpose remain undefined.
