Field Visit (28 June 1990)
NG26SW 2.04 2361 6331.
There are at least nine shieling-mounds and two shieling-huts scattered along the N side of the Borrafiach Burn. The most easterly comprises a group of at least eight grass-grown mounds on the valley floor, from which a bank runs away to the NNW. Those to the W are less well preserved in some cases reduced by cultivation.
