NS 009 727 Oval structures: Located on small knolls near foot of SE slope of Muclich Hill. There are the wall-footings of 3 oval buildings on neighbouring knolls. One built of large stones, with orthostats forming inner wall-face, and two forming the doorway in W gable. The walling is broad and substantial. The others are similar but less well preserved. No record. Perhaps associated with pig rearing (Gaelic: Muclich).

NS 009 727 Site 183 Muclich Hill
On three neighbouring natural knolls on the lower slopes of Muclich Hill are footings of three oval buildings, with many orthostats facing the inside wall, and doorways in one of the gable ends. Possibly associated with pig rearing (see Site 182, NS07SW 43) or perhaps more conventional shielings. Dating uncertain. Two buildings were noted by Hopkins (1972, 16).
