Field Visit (8 May 1961)
NG25SE 6 290 510.
A group of about 6 ruined shielings lies upon both banks of the Allt Beinn na Boineide.
The shielings, of earth and stone construction, are reduced to rather shapeless green mounds; but some have circular depressions in the top and some walling visible. There are both single and double cell types.
Visited by OS (ASP) 8 May 1961.
