On the W flank of Cnoc Achadh na h-Vaighe is a settlement of three hut circles (A-C) one (A) with a souterrain, and an accompanying well-preserved field system. 'B' and 'C' are very similar but lack the rubust construction of hut 'A'. They are heather covered, and measure respectively 13.0 by 12.0m and 14.0 by 13.0m within obscure wall spreads; entrances are in the S, the line of the long axis in both cases. A mound abuts the NW interior of hut C.
Revised at 1:10,000.

Two hut-circles, first identified by the OS, are levelled into a sloping terrace on the SW-facing flank of the hill. They measure 12m by 11.7m (ROG95 43, NC 7165 0740, OS ?B?) and 13.5m by 13m (ROG95 44, NC 7167 0737, OS ?C?) within heather-covered banks spread to 2m in thickness and 0.4m in height. The terminals of the banks have been expanded on either side of the entrances, which lie on the SSE.
