Full Description
Degraded, lozenge-shaped shieling, with centrally placed internal division. Being so overgrown with reeds, it is unclear whether the two compartments are internally connected and no entrances can be determined. Its thick, linear mounded walls stand 0.4m high and are spread to 1m wide. It measures 8m x 3m and its longsides trend 040 degrees. This site is one of a group of shieling huts identified during a walkover survey in April 2009. <1>
