Lying on the north-facing slope of Feinn Bheag at a height of 130m OD is a group of at least 6 shielings, mostly of the two and three-cell type. A number of the shielings are associated with small circular stone settings 1m in diameter.
A sheepfold measuring 9.1m by 7.5m overall lies to one end of the shieling group.
