This building is situated on the ENE shoulder of Cnoc a’ Ghiubhais (297m OD), a prominent steep-sided hill 4km SSE of Cape Wrath. Rectangular on plan, it measures 5.4m from NE to SW by 3.8m transversely over drystone walls 0.6m in thickness and up to 1.4m in height, although most of the wall on the SW side has been reduced to grass-grown footings. There is a fireplace (0.9m wide and 0.5m deep) in the SE end, and a doorway in the NW end.
