Calum Mor House, built on the beehive pattern, is partially underground and according to Mathieson, is 14 x 7ft inside.
Williamson considers it to be much the oldest of the medieval hovels of the old (17th c.) village. It is constructed of large unhewn stone blocks, remarkably well-corbelled considering their rough form and immense size. It consists of a large oval room with passages at ground level, leading to what appear to have been beehive chambers (doubtless 'bedrooms') on the W and S sides. (see illus. and plans)
