In bracken-infested ground just beyond the head-dyke enclosing Badentarbat township, and close to its NW corner, there is a building quite different to most of the other buildings in that it has rounded ends and has been built across, rather than along, the slope of the hill. It measures 8m E-W by 2.7m transversely within faced-rubble walls 0.7m thick which stand up to 0.9m high. It has been set into the slope at the W (uphill) end and terraced out on the E, and a drain has been dug around the NW corner, cutting a small cairn probably associated with the hut-circles close by (NC01SW 24.02). The entrance is in the S wall, offset slightly towards the E end and opening into the lowest of three compartments, each of which is marked by a step down from W to E.
