What may be a Pitcarmick-type building is situated on a small heather-covered terrace and lies amongst a scatter of small cairns and field-banks (NN93NW 13.07). The building is sub-rectangular, with rounded ends, and measures 21.5m from NE to SW by 5m transversely within a stone-faced earthen bank 1.5m in thickness and 0.4m in height. The entrance is on the SE side, and there is a slight break of slope midway down the slightly dished interior. There is a drain along the NW side, which has a slight kink in it towards the SW end of the building.
