A collapsed rectangular stone structure, situated at the back of a hillock and beside a burn, was recorded during a survey of the West Affric Estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland. It measures between 3m and 4m by 2m over 0.55m wide walls. The structure appears to have been deliberately levelled and may have been either a shed associated with or even an illicit still.
