Situated to the N of Hallaig under a small S-facing craggy outcrop, at a height of 75m OD, is a ruinous croft house which measures 16m N-S by 6m E-W over walls 1m wide. The entrance lies in the E wall and opens into a small enclosure, 11m by 6m, attached to that wall. A low stone wall 1m high extends in a westward direction from the SW corner of the house for 6.5m.
