Monument record MHG52844 - Shieling, Allt na Crionaiche Bige (3 of 13)

A reed covered, oval-shaped shieling, measuring 9m x 3.5m, is set 7m off the W end of Feature 12. Some stone is visible in its NE end. Its linear mounded walls stand 0.7m high and are spread to 1m wide. The reeds obscure any detail other than a 2m long, non-interconnecting bulbous SW end. The longsides of the building trend 26 degrees. This site is one of a group of shieling huts identified during a walkover survey in April 2009. <1>
