a) Measures 3.6 m NE/SW x 3.4 m, defined by ring of stones 0.6 m wide, formed of angular stones flush with or just protruding above turf. Possible entrance in ESE. 2 skins of walling visible in NW arc, but generally quite insubstantial in appearance.
b) 8 m to SW is another small structure. Measures 3.3 m NE/SW x 2.6 m, similar in character to (a) but wall is generally just 1 skin (0.5 m) wide.
At head of small, NE/SW-running valley under short turf and moss, overlooking Kyle of Durness.
Shielings, possibly associated with dyke 158, which cuts off the head of this valley, and with site 160.
