Situated in Coire Beithe, at the congluence of two burns which lie between the Allt Beinn Deirge and the forestry fence, at 80m OD is a sub-rectangular enclosure which measures 10m NW-SE by 8m NE-SW. An entrance survives in the S corner. To the rear/west side of the enclosure a twin-cell shieling-type structure has been built against the inside face of the wall.
A second twin-cell structure lies beneath the W wall of the enclosure. Visited by JM and AMcN 6 April 1990.
