The National Monuments Service's description
The final hut group consists of 3 conjoined clochauns located a few metres from the cliff-edge that bounds the NW side of the island. The central hut KE051-006---- is oval in plan and of corbelled drystone construction. Two small wall niches in the interior. An entrance at SE communicated with the SE hut KE051-006001- and a 2nd entrance at E probably led to the exterior. D: 4.05 x 2.8m. H: .9m. The SE (KE051-006001-) and NE (KE051-006002-) huts are badly ruined but the former may have had an independent entrance at ESE. D: 4.65m and c. 3 x 4m.
