Shieling and cairn
Oriented west-east, this shieling survives as one course of masonry protruding through the peat. Measuring 3.0 metres by 4.5 metres an entrance can be seen in the north wall at the east end. A subsidiary structure measuring 1.0 metre by 1.5 metres abutts the east end of this structure. To the south is a small L-shaped shelter, and to the west at the foot of the slope on which the site sits a series of placed boulders provide a crossing through a boggy area that blocks the approach to the shieling from the west. Five metres to the south - southwest is a cairn that measures 2.0 metres in diameter.

Field walking on 4/7/94.
