The 12 or so mounds here are field clearance heaps; the ground has been extensively cultivated, and no associated structures were found in area.

On the margin of modern cultivated land, a number of low stony mounds lie scattered along the flanks and over the summit of Cnoc na Caillich. They appear fairly typical of hut circle-associated field clearance heaps.
