Field Visit
Gil¹ an t-Sagairt
NB 44471 41495. Remains of oval stone structure 1.5m x 2.5m interior, 2.5m x c. 3.5m exterior. N-S aligned, doorway in east side. Sits on a sheltered platform slightly uphill on the north bank of Gil¹ an t-Sagairt (stream of the priest).
This is one of a group of shielings in the vicinity of Gil¹ an t-Sagairt and other tributaries of the River Coll, which are shown on the current OS maps but not the 1st edn map, and so presumably post-date 1851
