Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 9 July 1997
The settlement extends along the stream Allt Lite Sithinn from the sea, for about 350m. The survey recorded the southern, coastal extreme of the larger area, which consists of one smallstructure, a U-shaped, 7 x 6m hollow opening to the south-east, cut into the western slope of the stream valley, above the outlet of the stream.
