An enclosure, a hut, two pens and several banks lie at the N end of a narrow gully facing the sea on the W side of Achadh na Creige. The enclosure (Muck02 334) measures 3.3m by 2.6m within a stony bank 1.5m in thickness and up to 0.8m in height, and has a pen built into its E side. On the N, a hut has been built against the external face of the enclosure wall and this measures 1.9m by 1.4m within a rubble wall 0.4m in thickness and 0.2m in height. The other pen (Muck02 335) is built against the foot of the SW-facing cliff that forms the E side of the gully and measures 1.9m by 1.4m within a stony bank. One arc of bank cuts off the N end of the gully above the High Water Mark, while another length of bank cuts off the landward entrance into the gully from the S.
