J Harden 1990.
Above the east bank of the Allt Eas nan Lair, just before a significant change in angle of this northeast facing, deep heather-clad slope, are the remains of a hut circle. It is c.lOm in diameter between walls c0.25m high, spread to 1.5-2m. The entrance is to the east. To the southeast a large, flat area of ground, covered in deep, thick heather provided no obvious traces of contemporary cultivation although apparently ideally situated for such use. <1>
