Route of coastal path runs through part of the settlement site and slight damage is being caused by walkers to the south-east and east of the main hut circle. This hut circle has an internal diameter of 3.5 metres and an internal height of circa 0.9 metres. A large, rectangular outhouse, possibly an animal house or store, abutts it. Walls of granite packed with earth and small stones. Well preserved with door jambs standing and because of this it seems to have suffered sporadic excavation. Possibly the summer house referred to by Chanter.
