NG20NW 107 centred 2407 0602
In an area of lazy-bed cultivation and field clearance cairns (NG20NW 131.03) to the E of Buaile nan Gabhar, there are two small enclosures, both of which lie at the foot of crags with the remains of small huts. The first enclosure is subrectangular, measuring 4.5m from NE to SW by 2.9m within a boulder wall 0.9m in thickness and 0.6m in height. Here, the hut lies immediately to the NW and now comprises little more than a circular collection of stones about 3.2m in diameter, with traces of a stony bank extending from its S side. The second enclosure is situated some 40m to the S (NG 2406 0598) and is defined by orthostats, which enclose an area measuring 8.3m from N to S by 4m. The hut lies within this enclosure and is rectangular, measuring 2.7m from NE to SW by 1.4m.
(Canna 228-31, 234-5, 955).
