NN69NE 52 6994 9839

A large hut-circle, a scatter of small cairns, two buildings and several small enclosures are situated in birch woodland 550m SW of Biallaid House. The interior of the hut-circle (KING95 656; NN 6994 9839) has been dug into rising ground on the W and measures 15m in diameter. The enclosing wall has been reduced to a stony bank 0.4m high and 1.5m thick; occasional outer facing stones survive on the S, and parts of the inner face are visible on the N and S, but the inner face on the W has been obscured by hillwash. The entrance was probably on the ESE, where there is a gap in the wall 6.3m wide, although this is probably partly the result of stone-robbing. There are scatters of small cairns, probably of prehistoric date, on the wooded slopes to the W and N.
The first of the buildings (KING95 654) is situated 100m to the SW of the hut-circle. It measures 8.9m in length and 3.4m in breadth within walls 0.4m in height and spread to 1.4m in thickness. A small subrectangular enclosure lies 20m to the SSW. The second building (KING95 655), together with the remains of three small enclosures, is situated 70m to the NW of the hut-circle. It is bow-sided and measures 8.6m in length by 3.3m in breadth within walls 0.6m in thickness and 0.3m in height; the entrance is in the ESE side.
