On the east side of the Lorgasdal River, immediately at the foot of the west flank of Ben Idrigill, at a height of 165m OD is a large and very complex grouping of boulder built twin-cell structures and shieling mounds. Small cleared plots of ground lie to the south-west of the settlement, with the cleared stone placed in heaps between the plots. A large area of rig cultivation lies under the heather immediately to the west of the settlement. An earth-and-stone dyke surrounds the entire complex. Plan.
