Two small structures, possibly hut-circles or shieling-huts, which are situated on a W-facing hillside overlooking the Abhainn Poll Luachrain, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of the NE part of the Drimnin estate. They measure 3.5m and 3.1m in diameter externally. The SSE structure is defined by a turf-covered stone wall with evidence of both inner and outer facing stones. On the NNW, the wall expands on either side of an entrance. The second structure, 2.8m to the NNW, is defined by a turf-covered bank. There is no entrance visible.
An area of unenclosed rig cultivation, measuring 30m from E to W by 18m, lies to the S of the structures. The rig is visible form the hillside opposite.
