Full Description
An oval shieling, divided into two equal-sized, non-interconnecting compartments by an internal wall, is set on top of a small grassy knoll, occupying most of its upper area. Its lower, N end, with walls no more than a shallow linear, grass-covered mound, around 1m wide, is less distinct than its upper, S end, in which stone is clearly visible in its walls. It measures 8m x 3m, and no entrances are visible in either compartment. The longsides of the building trend 2 degrees. This site is one of a group of shieling huts identified during a walkover survey in April 2009. <1>
