Depopulated settlement. The main group of structures is composed of a mix of subrectangular buildings and shieling huts, suggesting that the site may have functioned as both a permanent settlement and a shieling site at different periods. The predominance of turf in the banks, as well as the levelling of the interiors into the slopes suggest that it may be of relatively early date. There are also two kilns lying to the northeast and southwest of the main cluster of buildings. The latter has a small barn upslope of it. It is possibly the settlement indicated on the John Farquharson map of the forest of Mar, 1703, named Little AQ (Allanaquoich).
