Field Visit (10 September 1997 - 10 September 1997)
Some 200m S of Loch a' Bhealaich on the S side of the Alltan Nighean Alasdair are the possible stone footings for a turf walled shieling hut c5m by c3m aligned WNW/ESE with stones protruding from the grass. A tiny stone walled feature c0.5m wide at the S widening to c1m wide at the N internally, with walls c0.6m wide and c0.2m high, is sited nearby to the W. About 7m to the E is a mound measuring c5m by c4m aligned cN/S. There are other similar mounds in the vicinity but they are too overgrown to be confirmed.
