Full Description
NG24NW 21 225 455
By the Allt Airigh Dhonachaidh on the north flank of Healabhal Mhor and at a height of 180m OD is a fine group of 8 turf-covered shieling mounds. All appear to be single-cell structures with very little stone visible. Information from J Jack, 7 April 1989. <1>
The original NGR provided (NG 225 455) is too far to the east and the site is clearly visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 2009 c.175m to the west. <2>
