Full Description

NH12SE 7 1865 2035

Three shieling-huts, situated on a slight heather and grass clad terrace on a hillside overlooking the Allt Garbh, were noted during the course of a pre-afforestation survey by J Wordsworth (NMRS MS 961/12, no.1). The best preserved structure measures 5m by 4m with drystone walls standing up to 0.6m in height. The other two buildings measure 5m by 3m and are only partially walled with stone.
