Orbost Estate Survey - Hlink, refer to site 112.
On a north east facing slope by a kink in the Brandarsaig Burn. A tight group of three grassy mounds with the remains of one single cell, one twin celled and one rather indistinct shieling on their summits.
The twin celled example measures 7.0m by 4.0m overall. The single cell example measures 5.5m by 4.5m and the third is too degraded to measure accurately.
