------
NG78SE 2.01 centred on 792 803
Within a large area centred on NG 792 803 are remains of a probable IA settlement with later shieling occupation.
The shieling occupation is shown by the presence of some 12 bothies, 5 of which lie within older hut-circles. The bothies, built of stone, are generally boat-shaped and measures 5m x 3m on average.
Little evidence of stone-clearance was seen in this area.
Visited by OS (W D J) 14 October 1964.
An enclosure is depicted on 1st edition of OS 6-inch map (Ross-shire 1881, sheet xliv). 11 shieling-huts and two enclosure are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10560 map (1968).
