Activities

Field Visit (28 June 1990)

NG35SW 57 3066 5154.

This shieling is situated along a tributary of the Allt Diubaig at the edge of a large clearing that has been left in the new forestry plantation that now occupies the catchment of Diubaig glen. Three mounds, the largest measuring 7m by 6m and 1m in height, lie on the S side of the burn, and what may be the remains of two more huts are visible a little further upstream.
