The remnants of a cairn remain on the north east flank of Bonlee Hill.
Perhaps a hut circle, but more likely to be a cairn going by it's footprint and lack of hut circle normalities. It sits at 6m wide and is 0.4m tall. Stones appear amongst the burnt heather.
I would think there is a great deal more to see on Bonlee Hill, but it might be difficult to find.
Superb views north towards Dalrossach and Culquoich.
Lump of Bonlee (Ancient Village / Settlement / Misc. Earthwork) — Fieldnotes
From Craig Glas head west through a low lying marsh until a small sream which has to be jumped, once up onto drier or firmer land you have reached the Lump of Bonlee. Heather burning has revealed several hut circles and a cairn in the area, perhaps more sites will be revealed with further burning.

NJ4005007769 One of the better preserved hut circles, it sits at almost 9m wide.
