Field Visit (7 June 2001)
A building and at least one hut are located on the NE of Cachlaidh nan Marbh about 250m E of the road. The building (289) measures 6.7m by 2.9m within drystone rubble walls 1m in thickness and 0.5m in height, robbed to provide stone for later pens constructed in the interior. About 26m to the N there is a hut that measures 3.3m from E to W by 1.5m within stony banks that are 0.5m in thickness and 0.2m in height. The entrance is on the N side. A second possible hut, and a pen, stand just to the SE.
