Orbost Estate Survey - Hlink, refer to site 128.
On a green terrace below the south face of a rocky hill lying to the east of Beinn na Moine. A linear group of four twin celled shielings. All are stone lined turf examples in a good state of preservation. In the most cases the creep between the cells survives as do the south and east facing entrances. Forestry gripping with new trees lies between and to the south of the shielings. There is a small cave in the base of the cliff behind the shielings.
