The access to this site is dangerous and it was not visited during this survey. It has been previously recorded as a sub-rectangular building, 21m NW-SE by 6m. Two ridges inside the building are set 3.5m apart and appear to be internal divisions. The structure is built on the slope of a precipitous knoll and access from the landward side has been further protected by a wall. This wall is turf-covered, stands up to 1.5m high and is best preserved to the NE side. Towards the S end there is a gap at the head of an oblique path leading up from the sea rocks below, suggesting that the site was meant to be approached by boat. A hole in the N end of the wall is said to have contained a stone, 5' high. The stone was removed around 1900 and thrown over the cliff; the remains of a cist with bones was said to have been found in the cavity. The site was surveyed at 1:2500 by OS.
