Monument record MHG4888 - Allt Nam Fitheach

NG32NE 6 397 275

(NG 396 276) A group of about 15 ruined shielings is situated at NG 398 275 on the banks of the Allt nam Fitheach at a height of about 450' OD.
They are mainly single-cell types in poor condition showing merely as small turf mounds, but two larger mounds contain double-cell types with some of the walling visible. Some 300 m to the WNW of the main group, at NG 394 275, at the junction of a small stream and the Allt nam Fitheach, are about 6 more shielings within a Forestry Commission plantation with single- and double-cell types represented.
