Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 17 July 1997

Two circular Beehive sheilings siting on raised mounds. The southern most is collapsed, the northern one appears to have had material robbed from it; however it clearly shows it had two doors (W and NE). Both have approx diameters of 5m. A third sub oval beehive sheiling is located 50m to the west, abutting a sheer rock face. Approx dimensions 5m x 4m.
