A building, previously observed by Robin Turner (the National Trust for Scotland archaeologist) on the S-facing slopes of Glen Affric, was not noted during a survey of the West Affric estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland. It is possible that this site may be the same as that noted at NH c.090 207 (NH02SE 8).

Field Visit (1 July 1995 - 1 July 1995)
To the W of an unnamed burn there is a round-ended drystone building aligned WSW/ENE which is c9m by c4m over walls c0.75m wide and c0.4m high. There is an entrance midway along the S wall c0.7m wide. Some 7m to the S is another building of almost identical proportions although the walls are barely showing through the grass.
To the E of the burn to the WNW of the structures is an oval enclosure aligned NE/SW c7m by c5m with its dyke c0.8m wide and c0.3m high.
