Field Visit (10 April 1997 - 10 April 1997)
High above Invershiel at c220mOD is a single rectangular drystone structure, aligned E/W, c7m by c3m, over walls c0.5m wide and c0.5m high, and sited adjacent to the burn. The structure is well hidden, set into the hillslope. There are extensive peat cuttings on the terrace above.
This may be a bothy for peat cutting, but it is sufficiently close to Invershiel for this to be unnecessary. It is more plausibly interpreted as a still site.
