What are probably the remains of two huts are situated some 65m apart in an area of poorly drained peat moorland to the N of Gualann Sgorr an Duine. The first (NG 2349 0519) occupies a low rise and survives as an oval mound measuring 4.8m from NNE to SSW by 3.5m within traces of a wall reduced to little more than a boulder kerb. The second (NG 2356 0520), which lies to the E adjacent to a stretch of orthostatic wall, is subrectangular and measures 2.7m by 1.6m within a wall of small boulders. A U-shaped enclosure (NG 2352 0519) is situated roughly midway between the two and is open-ended to the W. Several fragments of orthostatic walls are visible in this area, possibly extending the system recorded under NG20SW 44 as far N as the fragment of wall between two mounds (NG20NW 88).
