Arranged on both banks of the Allt Mios an Airigh, on the west flank of Beinn Ettow and at a height of 140m OD is a fine group of shieling mounds. Many are totally grass-covered but one or two show traces of stone work on surface. One is a well-defined twin-celled structure with up to five courses of stone still standing on inner face.
