A hut-circle (OS 'A') and five small cairns, on the lower SE-facing slopes of Cno na Caorach Glaise, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Scourie and Badcall common grazings. The hut-circle is oval on plan and measures 9m from E to W by 7.5m. It is levelled into the slope on the N and has a 1.2m high embankment on the downhill side. The turf-clad stony banks are up to 2.5m wide and 0.3m high and there is an entrance on the E. On the slope below the hut-circle, there are five small cairns measuring up to 0.5m in diameter and 0.5m in height.
