There are three, and possibly four, much denuded hut-circles on the hill-top to the NNW of Dun Gearymore, defined by kerbs of boulders; the fourth survives as a semi-circular arc of stones on the W edge of the hill-top. One of the hut-circles (259) is built between the broch and its outwork and is roughly defined by an inner kerb around a platform 7.3m in diameter; the possible entrance to the NW may be a re-use of an entrance in the outwork. The best, if patchily preserved hut-circle lies to the NW, outside the outwork; 6.5m in diameter, it has both an inner and outer kerb 1.4m in thickness and 0.35m in height. The third hut-circle (257), immediately to the E is cut by a hut (256) on its E side.
