A hut circle on a moorland ridge accompanied by a field system. The hut measures 13.0 by 11.5m over a wall best distinguished in intermittent outer-facing slabs; the entrance is in the S, the line of the main axis. The field system comprises numerous stone clearance heaps, spaced from 5.0 to 20.0m apart, with traces of lynchets; a plot 25.0 by 10.0m was noted, and, WNW of the hut, a stretch of banking. 150.0m to the SE are several more stone clearance heaps.

There is a hut-circle and a scatter of small cairns and field banks disposed along a low ridge to the S of Inchomnie. The hut-circle (ROG95 11), which lies on a terrace towards the SE end of the ridge, measures 10.3m from NW to SE by 9.1m transversely within a boulder-faced bank 1.5m in thickness and 0.5m in height; the entrance is on the SE.
The small cairns measure up to 5m in diameter and 0.5m in height and are interspersed with slight lynchets and rickles of stone, generally accentuating natural breaks of slope. To the WNW of the hut-circle the ridge is crossed by a stony bank, disappearing in the boggy ground to the NE and SW of the ridge (ROG95 897). Some 41m to the SE of the hut-circle there is a subrectangular hut (about 4.4m by 3.6m overall) is levelled into a small cairn.
