Situated on a terrace on the SE side of a low knoll 650m SE of Colonsay House there is a hut-circle which measures 7.5m in average diameter within a wall now represented by a stony bank about 1.5m thick and 0.2m high. The entrance is on the SE and two facing-stones are visible on the SW side of the passage. There is a hook-like annexe on the WSW of the hut-circle.
