A building and a semi-circular enclosure lie immediately E of the roofed building at Torrangarbh. The building measures 8.9m from E to W by 3.45m transversely within faced-rubble walls, 0.6m thick and up to 1.6m high, with one entrance in the middle of the S wall and another at the E end of the same side. There are blocked windows in both sides, and the walls have been refurbished with mortar bonding. The building occupies the chord of a semi-circular enclosure to the N, which is defined by an arc of bank around the back of the platform on which the building stands.
Both the roofed and the unroofed building are depicted as roofed on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherlandshire 1879, sheet xcvi)
