Full Description

Two stone-built poss dwellings, byres or shieling huts, on low hill, each with entrance visible.These are on a low mound close to marshland which has been drained, possibly during Improvements. However, this was also part of Mingary clachan lands, so this may be shieling settlement or ‘satellite’ to main clachan. <1>


The site was visited and photographed by Jon Haylett on the 8th of November 2013. <1>
