A building - possibly a shieling-hut, set on a slight ridge overlooking a vehicle track, was recorded during a survey of the West Affric estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland. It is situated to the W of a wall (NH02SE 11) The building measures 7m from E to W by 3m over 0.7m wide walls only one course high. A 0.6m wide entrance lies in the centre of the S side. A gully has been cut, or worn down, opposite the entrance.
