A group of shielings, one, at NH 5784 9651, measures 7.5m by 3m and, has a possible kiln in the SW side. Several similar shielings surround it. A possible shieling, sub rectangular, 7m by 3m defined by mounds and stones, lies at NH 5786 9652; and a group of five possible shielings, 6m by 3m on average, occupy a grassy platform at NH 5789 9652.
