A hut-circle and a group of small cairns are situated in rough grassland to the N of the largely improved and enclosed fields of Rhilochan. The hut-circle (ROG95 113, NC 7463 0740), which is situated on a slight rise, has been reduced by ploughing and measures 10m in diameter over slight traces of a robbed-out bank 0.3m in height. Two facing stones are visible on the W arc, the line of which is continued around the rest of the circuit by robbing hollows.
There are about twenty small cairns (ROG95 886), measuring up to 4m in diameter and 0.4m in height, to the NW and W of the hut-circle. To the W of the hut-circle several of the cairns have been overlain by a ruinous drystone wall.
