A souterrain was discovered about 1906 at this location in North Uist, and was re-opened in September 1964 when a 4m long by 1.1m deep and 0.8m wide walled passage was revealed. The site now appears as a slight hollow and a line of stones. It is not known whether the souterrain survives, but it is possible.
Other stones in the vicinity may represent the remains of other associated structures.
