Situated on a low rise on the W side of Loch Ussie there are the remains of a hut-circle which measures 8m in diameter within a low, turf-covered bank 2m in thickness and about 0.2m in height. The wall has clearly been robbed of its original inner and outer facing-stones and there is a narrow entrance on the SE. The hut-circle lies some 18.5m WNW of a burnt mound (NH 45 NE 68).
