NG20NW 90 2349 0519, 2356 0520 and 2352 0519
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).
