Monument record MHG52841 - Sheepfold, Cnoc a' Bhaid Bhain

A 10m internal diameter, stone-built sheepfold is set on the same grassy grazing grounds as the older shielings it superseded (Plate 6). Its walls are largely intact, standing 1.5m high, only having tumbled for a 10m section in its N arc and for a 4m section immediately to the E of the 0.6m wide entrance to 185 degrees. Its walls are 0.8m wide at the base, tapering to 0.5 wide at the top. This site was identified during a walkover survey in April 2009. <1>
