A small circular drystone structure - possibly a still - situated on the N of a burn descending W from the Bealach a'Choinich, was recorded during a survey of the West Affric estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland. It measures 1.4m in diameter with a drystone wall, composed of large stones, 0.5m wide and 0.6m high. There is a possible entrance on the downhill side to the S although this is blocked with smaller stones.

Field Visit (1 July 1995 - 1 July 1995)
A round-ended shovel with its wooden handle still partly survives in this structure. It is possible that it is actually a 'store' associated with a shieling area.
