Full Description

Recorded during a walkover survey as part of the Garbh Chriochan a’ Deas Lost Place Names Survey by the Sunart Oakwoods Research Group. A compact shieling on the N side of the Allt Raoicidhdail, occupying a moderate bracken covered slope, with boulders and rocky outcrops, and having a SE aspect. The buildings are of dry stone, turf and presumably creel, with small platforms recessed into the hillside, and lines of stones possibly retaining paths across the slope. There is a good, if restricted view down to Loch Linnhe but it is not well placed for overlooking the grazing land in the corries above. <1>

Recorded under the township of North Gerridh as a shieling comprising c. 10 fragmentary buildings, a number of field clearnce cairns and stone alignments. <2>
