Full Description
NC21SE 13 265 111.
NC 2663 1124. Shieling.
R J Mercer 1978. <1>
Nothing seen at the grid reference given, but at NC 2657 1117, NC 2658 1115 and NC 2660 1112 are the obscure turf and stone footings of three shieling bothies, dimensions from 3m by 2m to 4m by 3m. (One of these may be the shieling referred to on NC21SE 12.)
Visited by OS (JM) 14 August 1980.
Surveyed by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in November 2009. No evidence of the previously reported structural remains or turf banks were observed, although a few areas of improved pasture (see MHG11293) which may suggest the presence of a sheiling. <2>
