This Hebridean-type cottage was built before 1878 because it is shown on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map. These vernacular buildings, once prolific across Na h-Eileanan Siar, are now extremely rare. The building continues to show regional traditional building methods and materials and retains a significant proportion of its historic fabric, vernacular form and character. Notable features include the thick rubble walls with curved angles and the proportions of the building, with an extra bay at the south, indicates it may have been a house and byre.
The building was known to have had a marram thatched roof, however by 2015 none of the thatching material was seen. It still retains its timber roof structure showing the traditional rounded shape of the roof.
