A hut-circle, situated on a shelf at the N end of the ridge of Carn nam Fiadh, was noted during a pre-afforestation survey of part of the Couldoran Estate. The hut-circle measures c.10m in diameter over walls spread up to 1.2m in width and standing up to c.0.3m in height. There is a possible entrance on the SE. A low dyke, delineating the E edge of the shelf on which the hut-circle is situated, possibly forms an enclosure on the NE.
