Glen Dibidil NM 391 935 NM39SE

This well-preserved shieling site is situated on the E side of the Dibidil River about 750m NNW of Dibidil bothy. There are ten huts, four of them sited on two shieling mounds. The huts vary in shape from subrectangular to oval, and two have two compartments, the smaller opening off the larger. One of the shieling mounds measures 12m in diameter by 1.4m in height; the other is oval measuring 15m by 12m and 1.2m in height. [About 250m to the ESE there is a rectangular enclosure measuring 12.8m by 3m within its wall; there is an entrance in each end.]
