At an elevation of about 300m, the Allt Coire na Creiche takes a right angle bend to the NE. In the angle of the burn is a small group of shieling huts, the most prominent being of drystone work and approximately 3.4m square, with walls to 0.7m high and 0.9m thick with an entrance in the NW side; and possibly overlying other, much denuded buildings of turf. Nearby are two low foundadons, mainly of turf, measuring approximately 4.3m by 2.5m.
