To the western (seaward) side of the broch the limits of the settlement have been established.
The dominant feature was a large circular aisled roundhouse (Structure 12) around 10 metres in diameter.
The walls of this building stand to over 2 metres high in places.
To the west of this was a second building less well-preserved.
To the south of Structure 12 was another roundhouse (Structure 14) of a similar size but oval in shape.
To the north of Structure 12 was another range of buildings, including one with a set of seven (possibly originally eight or more) small 'cupboards' let into the interior wall.
East of this building and closer to the broch, a circular inward-tilting arrangement of stones appeared to be the partially collapsed top of the roof of a corbelled cell.
