Full Description
Orbost Estate Survey - Hlink, refer to site 119.
At the foot of a small crag on the north-west side of the Idrigill Burn. A twin celled, stone lined, turf shieling built as a half circle against the base of a small north east facing outcrop. A central wall divides the structure into a 1.7m by 1.8m cell and a 1.4m by 2.0m cell. An entrance, 0.6m wide, faces to the north. A low turf mound, 2.0m in diameter, attached to the north-east side of the structure may be the remains of a third, less well preserved, cell.
