Within the green grass below Eas na Doire Moire are a range of small drystone structures.
One is set against the S side of a very large boulder, the rough walling creating a structure c3m by c3.5m across walls c0.55m wide which still stand to c1m high. There is a possioble blocked entrance in the W.
c11m to the S of this are three insubstantial structures - rough stone foundations for turf structures(?).
One is sub-circular [c1.3m by c1m across a single boulder width set into the grass and so at most only 0.2m high]; the next one lies c3m to the S and is a circular setting [c1.5m internal diameter] of stones [c0.5m wide and at most 0.2m showing through the grass]. The third structure is 14m to the S of the last and is of a similar size and form.
To the E of these structures are slight lines of stones that may delineate other structures.
