Below the cliffs on the east side of Ben Scoval and to the north-west of the road that runs from Uig to Feriniquarrie at a height of 85m OD are two closely related groups of shielings. The more northerly of the two groups lies below the power line, and consists of 14 grassy mounds with one or two depressions visible in the top. The southerly group consists of 5 grassy mounds with one or two cells visible in their tops.
