Full Description
NG85SE 8 884 537.
Two drystone structures near to the burn of the same name form the remains of this shieling, as well as a distinct area of Deschampsia caespitosa. This rank grass seems to be an indicator of previous improved pasture in this area. Over-planted by larch. with some self-seeded old Caledonian Pine, the larger feature measures internally 4m by 3m, and has at one end a D-shaped attachment, which was possibly for the storage of the dairy produce, It is revetted into the hillside, incorporating large boulders into the wall. 20m uphill is a small D-shaped enclosure, backing onto large boulders, with an internal diameter of 1.5m.
M Macdonald 1994d.
