This yair is situated at the southern end of Loch Broom off the eastern shore. The two retaining walls form an almost perfect square, are curvilinear, and appeared as a band or track of stones 4 or 5 ft. wide enclosing an area of about half an acre. The stonework is composed of smaller boulders than are in the other yair.

This yair, centred at NH 1778 8625, is now ruinous. From its eastern end it extends 140 m. westwards, turning at an angle of 100 degrees in a southerly direction for a distance of some 100 m. The stones which once formed this fishtrap are nearly all dispersed over the sands, to form a 'scatter' some 10 ft. wide showing the traces of the line of this yair.
