To the south of Moonen Burn, circa 80m from where it runs out of Loch Eishort and at a height of 168m OD there is a large oval mound which measures 12m north east to south west by 10m north-west to south-east.
A small stony mound sits centrally on the mound out of which protrude two small upright slabs.
To R C Callander the same structure looks like a twin-celled shieling-type building.
Information from S H Bryson and R C Callander, 4 and 10 April 1989.
