A well-preserved group of huts and ancillary structures is situated at the foot of a rock outcrop which runs ENE from the lochan immediately NE of Sgorr Mtir. There are at least six huts; two of them comprise two compartments, and the remainder are oval. One of the huts incorporates a rock overhang and is still roofed; the interior of the hut measures 2.3m by 1.1m and the corbelled roof rises to a maximum height of 1.2m above the floor.
