At an elevation of 180m on a plateau below Creag Sneosdal crags is the wall of an enclosure or house. It occupies the summit of a small knoll overlooking the upper reaches of Abhainn Sneosdal. The denuded wall is 2-3m in width, standing to a height of c 0.45m on its eastern side, where an outer face of stones is plainly visible. Its entrance lies to the west and where the bank is more degraded shows as an interruption 2.9m in width. Adjacent, and to the W of the northern bank terminal, a hollow approaches from the N but terminates in an embanked butt-end before interfering with the approach to the entrance, which is orientated 30 degrees S of W. The external diameter of the enclosure is 12m, with an internal area of 7.5 square metre.
