A group of seven shieling mounds which may be seen as outliers of the probable early medieval settlement at Block Eary. 


They include two hut circles set on ground sloping to the west and near the point where two streams converge.  One (PRN 0466.10) is a rather irregular mound built up to a flat top with an average diameter of 9.5 metres and minimum height of 0.6 metres. On top of the mound the tops of several stones protrude.  The second (PRN 0466.20) has a diameter of 5.0 metres and its minimum height is 0.5 metres. There is an inner circle of stones on edge surrounding a shallow hollow with a diameter of 1.7 metres. There is an apparent entrance to the south.  They are comparable to the built up hut circles at Block Eary.


Another mound in this group was considered to be a corn-drying kiln, but excavation in 1960 revealed that the structure had been drastically remodelled at some time, and had obscured its original feature. The interior in its later phase consisted of upright slabs forming a small pen with a narrow entrance. Below the partly-paved floor of the pen was a deposit of peat-ash, and on the lower side of the mound were the remains of two short 'arms' of turf possibly a flue. Although the peat-ash would imply a corn-drying kiln it cannot be claimed with certainty.
