At NC 8984 2316 overlooking the Allt Leitir nan Caile is a small stone-walled hut circle 5.9m in internal diameter with the majority of its inner circumference marked by contiguous slabs on edge. Occasional outer facing stones are visible giving a wall width of between 1.5m & 1.8m. The entrance is in the E. No clear signs of contemporary cultivation were seen, a large part of the surrounding area having been cultivated in more recent times.
