Full Description
Situated on the SE side of Allt Creagach, some 200m NE of its junction with Allt ne Coille Beag, are the remains of nine shieling bothies, some twin compartmented, within a large earth and stone banked enclosure.
The bothies survive as low banks of turf-covered stones and average about 5m x 3m. Clear remains of run-rig can be seen within the enclosure. The circular feature at NC 6062 3432 is a hut circle. (See NC63SW 3)
Visited by OS (JB) 24 March 1977.
