Situated to the E of a small tributary of the Allt nan Achaidhean, there is a C-shaped burnt mound which measures 8m from N to S by 6.8m transversely and 0.8m in height. The open side lies on the WSW and the inner face of the mound to either side of this gap (1m wide) has been revetted in stone. Lifting a sod revealed densely-packed, small, cracked stones and charcoal set in a matrix of black soil.
