The walls are partly collapsed and there is probably a window in the back wall. A doorway is located in the centre of the eastern long wall The house is situated on a platform overlooking Acairseid Mhor. 40 metres to the north house E 431 is located.
Interpretation: This house was probably used as a storage room of house E 431, although the window would be quite unusual for a storage room.
