At least two buildings constructed of beach boulders, possibly fishermen's bothies, are situated on the edge of the pebble beach towards the end of Ardmore Point, SSW of Ardmore House (NG 2188 5991, 1133). That to the N comprises two conjoined elements set at right-angles to each other with a connecting linteled creep, measuring up to 7m from NNW to SSE by 8.3m over walls 0.9m thick and 0.5m in height.
To the S (NG 2186 5987, 1134) is at least one further building, possibly subdivided and with an entrance to the SW, measuring 8m from NNE to SSW by 5.1m over walls 1.1m thick and 0.4m in height. There are fragments of what may have been further structures to the SE and E.
