Full Description
NG25NE 16.03 2723 5564.
There are nine shieling-mounds and one hut along the line of a boundary dyke on the NW slope of Cnoc a' Chrochaire; a second small hut is attached to a small enclosure about 30m to the SE. Only one of the mounds has any sign of a structure on top, although several display one or more dimples. The bank appears to pre-date several of the mounds. A second enclosure is visible at the N end of the shielings.
(WAT90 640-650)
Visited by RCAHMS (PJD) 20 November 1990.
A site visit was made in September 2008 to assess the potential archaeological impact of a proposed development to the west of the site. It was observed that the remains lie on a natural platform at grid refs. NG 2726 5568 (north end) and NG 2723 5562 (south end). <1>
