Remains of a hut-circle. It was recorded by the antiquary Jervise as 'about 700 yards to the south west of the weem' (NO43NW0001) and consisting of 'a circle of about 8 yards in diameter', intersected by modern dykes and ditches and 'bounded by boulders, and paved with flat stones'. Below the floor were discovered 'charcoal, horse's teeth, and other animal bones' and 'also some rudely formed stone hammers'. Jervise drew parallels between the souterrain and also with Hurly Hawkin. J. R. Allen also records the finding of a 17.7 cm (7 inches) square flat piece of grey sandstone which bore 4 cups on one side near this site, which was in the possession of W. McNicoll, Tealing House in 1881. When visited by the OS in 1950, the vague outline of a hut-circle formed by a bank of earth and stones 1.5 m broad and 0.3 m high was visible. From crest to crest its diameter is 4.5 m. There is a break in the bank, 2 m wide, in the northwest sector. There are no indications of other structures in the immediate vicinity. The hollowed centre was filled with field stones leaving no trace of the paving mentioned by Jervise.
