This house measures 7 x 5.7 metres and is orientated from north to south. The walls stand up to 1.4 metres high and are made of fairly large stones, smaller stones filling the space between them. 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.
