There are two subrectangular huts on flat grassy ground on the N bank of the Allt Madagain about 2km W of Dail na Seilg. About 50m uphill to the NW there is a small pen, and a further 40m to the WNW there is a small D-shaped enclosure. The huts lie end on to each other, about 10m apart. That to the W (KING95 49) measures internally 4.3m from E to W by 2.4m, and that to the E (KING95 50) 4.6m by 2.2m; both have predominantly turf walls reduced to spread banks no more than 0.2m high. The pen (KING95 51 at NN 6283 9839), which is also subrectangular, is situated at the rear of a sheltered heather-covered terrace. It has two compartments and measures 5.6m from NNW to SSE by 2.8m transversely within a drystone wall 0.6m in thickness and 0.7m in height.
