Full Description

"Situated above the eastern shore of Loch Beag an Tanga the remains of this sheiling measure 3 x 2.5 metres and are orientated from north to south. The remains survive as two parallel stone walls that represent the inner faces of a building constructed of turf with a stone lining. The north end of the building is obscured by tumbled stone and a cellular structure 1 metre in diameter that has been built into the rubble." (Burgess 2004, 163-164)
