Full Description
Directly downslope of Feature 4 is another shieling, set on a linear grassy knoll. It is less distinct than those previously recorded and appears to be rectangular in outline, with a possible outshot protruding from the SW end of its NW side. It measures 8m x 2.5m and the outshot is 3m long, extending out from the main building line for 1.5m. Occasional boulders are visible in the walls; however most of the walling is overgrown with moss and grass. The longsides of the building trend 37 degrees. This site is one of a group of shieling huts identified during a walkover survey in April 2009. <1>
