Three subrectangular huts and an oval mound lie on a terrace with lazy-bed cultivation (NG20NE 109.05) below Beul Lama Sgorr. The easternmost hut is depicted on the current edition of the OS 1:10,000 map and is annotated as a shieling. It appears to be set on a slight mound and measures 1.7m from NNW to SSE by 1.5m transversely within a stony bank 0.9m in thickness and 0.55m in height. It lies at the upper edge of a plot of lazy-beds immediately to the N of a small clearance cairn (NG20NE 109.05). The other two huts lie some 65m to the W on the line of a ruinous boulder wall. They are both similar in size and defined by stony banks, the larger measuring 2.5m from NW to SE by 2.1m internally. The mound lies on the leading edge of the terrace below the lazy-beds and does not appear to contain any stones.
(Canna 735-8).
