An Early Iron Age, stone-walled house of two rectangular compartments, inserted into the NE corner of Unival chambered cairn (NF86NW 4).

The site was excavated by Scott in 1935 and 1939 and produced pottery, which indicated that there had been secondary Iron Age occupation contemporary with the aisled round-house culture.
