This site was visited by Roland Spencer-Jones of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society on the 8th of January 2014. A long, south-facing building with three compartments was recorded nestled into a bank to its rear, 4m in depth. The central compartment was a dwelling 10m wide with outbuildings on each side, both with seperate entrances and each measuring 6m in width. The building was overgrown with vegetation, particularly the western outbuilding. Here the walls existed up to 1m in height. In front of the building is an enclosure, the whole settlement is aligned with a long dyke which runs roughly north -south. <1>

This structure and an adjoing settlement [see MHG22908] appear on the Lovat estate maps of 1797 entitled 'Gilly Phaeton'.
