Full Description
NG20NW 4 2418 0626.
(NG 2409 0580) (Information from private 6"map of T C Lethbridge, 1953) A group of three small cairns is situated in the valley due S of Rudha Langaninnis. They are in alignment and seemingly linked by a drystone wall (RCAHMS 1928).
Lethbridge, however, considers these to be one or more circular huts and one large one, probably a wheelhouse.
RCAHMS 1928.
Three stony mounds and a ruinous wall centred at NG 2418 0626. The central and western mounds are probably ruined circular bothies, whilst the easterly mound is a stone clearance heap. They are all undoubtedly contemporary with nearby lazybed cultivation and with several similar bothies and walls about 80.0m to the S one of which (larger than the others) is probably the alleged wheelhouse referred to by Lethbridge. Visited by OS (I S S) 27 May 1972.
