There are four stone-walled shieling-huts and a pen situated on the first terrace to the E of the confluence of the Bynack Burn and the Allt an t'Seilich; they range from 4.9m to 8.3m in length by between 2.2m and 3.3m in breadth within rubble-faced walls 0.7m to 1.1m in thickness and standing to as much as 0.5m in height, with an entrance in the side. There is a small turf-walled yard attached to the W side of one of the largest of the shielings, the W wall of which is embanked with turf, and there is a midden heap outside the entrance (MAR93 530).
