Full Description

A small group of possible shieling huts to the south of the Grudie River, Sutherland. The features are visible in vertical aerial photographs, particularly those taken in 2020 and 2023 and appear as sub-rectangular earthworks in a patch of greener grass amongst coarser vegetation. The southernmost appears to be the largest and is larger and more distinctly rectangular than the others. A presumably later circular sheep fold is located immediatley to the southeast of the largest of the possible huts. <1> <2>
