Full Description

"Located on the most northerly spur at the foot of Beinn Lobheir this multicellular turf sheiling has commanding views for 360 degrees. The structure appears to be entirely of turf and is extremely heavily denuded. It consists of a primary cell measuring 6 metres in diameter with a secondary cell to the north measuring 5 metres north to south by 7 metres west to east. The structure is too ephemeral to identify any entrances or internal structures." (Burgess 2004, 30-31)
