Full Description

NC00NW 35 0378 0712

On the heather-covered hillslope to the NW of the Allt a' Bhaid Choillie there are three huts, two small pens and a field-system. The huts range from 2.8m to 5m in length by between 2.2m to 3.2m in breadth within faced-rubble walls 0.65 to 0.7m thick. One has an enclosure attached to the NE (ACHIL94 572), a second is attached to the N of a bank (ACHIL94 569), and the third is set in the gully of the Allt a' Bhaid-Choillie (ACHIL94 574). The two pens are built of drystone rubble and are square on plan, measuring 1.5m and 2m across respectively (ACHIL94 570-1). Although fragmentary, the field-system comprises the NW and SW sides of an enclosure or field, measuring about 150m across, delimited on the NE and SE by the burn and by a short length of bank that runs off to the NW.
The 1st edition OS 6-inch map depicts three roofed buildings (ACHIL94 572 and 574), one with an attached enclosure (Cromartyshire 1881, Sheet iii).
