Full Description
Possible sheiling with a crude boulder backwall which looks like it may have originally been a clearance cairn, and a crude semi-circular boulder wall around its front (Plate 32). The wall is 0.8m thick and 0.4m high, with a possible 0.4m wide central entrance. The interior is now uneven with some fallen boulders. It measures 4m x 3m externally (2.5m x 1.5m internally) and with its long axis trending 1240. It nestles in a sheltered hollow with a small spring immediately to its W. <1>
