Full Description
The site was visited and photographed by D Glass in May 2012. The site was described as:
"A circular enclosure approximately 12 metres diameter on a slope west of the Allt Ach nan Tot. The northern half of the enclosure has been planted with trees which have recently been harvested. The southern half is in a forest ride and is better preserved.
The enclosure wall is composed of stone and earth. The remains are characteristic of a hut circle and not a sheep stell." <1>
