Full Description
NG77NE 21 7822 7941
A structure, possibly a shieling-hut, situated immediately beside the Allt an Fheadain in a narrow deep section of its valley, was recorded during a pre-afforestation survey by Headland Archaeology (NMRS MS 899/74, no.5).
The structure measures 2.5m by 2m and is two courses high. The location is not typical of shieling-huts which are usually situated on well-drained ground adjacent to water and it may therefore have had a different purpose.
