On the E bank of the Allt Loch na Smeoraich, at a height of 185m OD is a stone-built sheep pen. A small turf dyked enclosure is attached to the NE corner of the pen.

An enclosure is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire 1880, sheet cxxiii). A two compartment enclosure labelled as a sheepfold is shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1972).
