This group of three shielings, two mounds and a hut, lies along the S side of the Allt nam Maighdean as it runs through gently sloping ground some 500m E of the road to Waternish. The westernmost is a large subrectangular mound, 13.5m in length by 5.5m in breadth, standing to 1m in height. On its top, towards its E end, is a hut with a stony perimeter, 2.9m in length by 2.2m in breadth. The middle shieling is a stone-walled hut and the easternmost a small mound.
