Full Description
A sheep shelter at Carn Beag near the Tutim Burn, was recorded by Highland Archaeology Services during a walkover survey in 2011 in advance of a proposed forestry scheme on the Balnagowan Estate. Drystone circular shelter with wings extending NE and SW. There is one small creep entrance to the circle. (Plate 6; photos 30-33) The feature is on a slight rise some distance from the river edge and there is no trace of any earlier shieling structures although this may have been a shieling area with the stones of any huts robbed in the building of the sheep shelter. <1>
