NG 4141 2179. On a crest of the lower slopes of Sgurr nan Gobhar, 400.0m NE of Glen Brittle House, there is a ruined hut circle at 250ft OD. (Visible on RAF air photographs CPE/Scot/UK/372: 4150-1)
It measures 6.0m in internal diameter with turf-covered walling 1.0m wide and 0.2m high. The probable entrance is to the S.
Overlying the walling on the NW there is a turf-covered mound of stones measuring 4.0m in diameter and 0.5m high, with much loose stone at the centre.
