'An earth house has been noted on the hillside below the rocky summit of Carn Urugag. The passage oriented ENE for c. 3m, curves NE for another metre and terminates in a circular chamber, c. 0.5m in diameter. The entrance is c. 0.65m wide; an exposed roofing stone is c. 8cm thick; the chamber is ruined but the passage is practically intact'.
J Davies and F Bunce 1979.
