Lying on the summit of a birch-covered knoll which lies 100m SW of the sharp bend in the road, about 110m OD is a degraded, boulder built, single cell shieling. The remains measure 6.8m by 3.5m over walls 1.0m wide. There is no obvious entrance. To the W are four small plots of lazy beds and to the S is a small area of rig cultivation with associated clearance cairns.
