A hut and a mound are situated in the corner of an improved field to the SW of Uchd a' Ghralair. The hut (Muck02 360), which lies on the line of a field-bank extending towards the N, measures 3.6m by 2.8m within faced rubble walls 0.7m in thickness and up to 0.5m in height, but a gap at the NW corner may be a later break. An outshot attached to the SE corner measures 1.8m square within a faced rubble wall. The flat-topped mound (Muck02 361), which is located immediately to the S of the hut, measures 7.3m by 6m overall and varies in height from 0.6m at the NNE end to almost nothing where it merges into the slope on the SSW. It is largely composed of turf, apart from one or two large stones protruding along its W edge.
