High on the SW flank of Beinn Dearg Bheag 500m to the W of Allt Slapin at about 182m OD are the well-preserved remains of two boulder-built twin celled structures. The more northerly of the two has a main cell, entered from the S, which measures 6.0m. N-S x 4m E-W internally. A small creep gives access to a subsiduary cell attached to the W side which measures 3m x 1.75m internally. The structure lies on a natural terrace which has been artificailly extended into the hillslope. The southern structure has a main cell, again entered from the S which measures 4m x 3.75m internally. A collapsed creep gives access to a subsiduary cell attached to the E side which measures 2.5m x 1.5m. This structure also lies on a natural terrace.
