Full Description
"The fragmentary remains of this possible sheiling are located on the south facing slopes above the south shores of Eilean Chalium Cille and measures 4 metres from west to east and 2.5 metres from north to south. Built of stone this rectilinear structure is best preserved on its north side towards its east end. The possible remains of an entrance can be seen in the east wall, though it is uncertain whether this is contemporary with the original construction. Much of the south and west faces of the structure have been lost either though erosion or by robbing for the building of another structure." (Burgess 2004, 71-72)
