A dyke, describing a gentle arc on the SW-facing slopes of Druim nan Sgalag, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey on the Rahoy Estate. It extends from an unmarked burn on the SW for about 200m to the NW at which point it peters out. The dyke, which is 1m wide and 0.9m high, marks the boundary between an area of old improved ground from the heather moorland above.
The remains of a possible structure, measuring 4m by 3m, are indicated by a stone heap on the N side of a burn at NM 6330 5707.
