There are two much reduced shieling-huts about 100m apart on a piece of grass-covered ground between two branches of the Toftholm Sike. That to the W is situated on a slight rise and measures 5.4m from N to S by 3.5m transversely over stony banks spread to 0.8m in thickness and 0.2m in height (NY 4903 9504, LID96 262). That to the E, which is built across the contour, measures 7m from ENE to WSW by 5m transversely over turf banks spread to 1.1m in thickness and 0.1m in height (NY 4913 9508, LID96 263).
