A possible hut-circle, four narrow rectangular structures and a pen are scattered over a distance of some 160m on the W side of the burn named Allt Bhre-sgorr. The possible hut-circle (NG 2160 0472) lies on a broad flat eminence close to the head of the burn, and measures 4.4m in diameter within a wall reduced to a low stony bank 1.1m in thickness and 0.2m in height. Boulders forming the outer wall-face can be seen on the S, but the position of the entrance is not visible. The northernmost of the rectangular structures lies immediately to the N of the hut-circle; it measures 9.4m from ESE to WNW by 1.3m internally and is defined by rows of boulders.
The second narrow structure (NG 2159 0466) lies about 50m to the SSW and is located on the end of a low spur at the head of the burn gully. It measures 8.9m from NNE to SSW by 1m internally and is also defined by rows of boulders. The pen (NG 2160 0466) lies at the foot of this spur and measures 1.5m by 1m within a low stony bank.
The remaining two rectangular structures lie to the S at NG 2158 0464 and NG 2157 0457 respectively. The former lies at the foot of a rock outcrop and measures 5.7m from E to W by 1m internally, while the latter lies on the N side of an orthostatic wall and is measures 6.7m from ENE to WSW by 0.9m within a wall defined by boulders set on edge.
