Shieling/kiln?
This stone and turf shieling measures 3m east-west, 2.5m north -south and is roughly oval in shape. A possible entrance may be seen in the north wall. It is possible that this structure had some other function such as a kiln or day shelter, as it appears to be part of the surrounding pre-crofting landscape.
