Glen Dhoo Shieling Mound

Archaeology

One of a scattered group of shieling mounds. P.S. Gelling mapped 12 sheiling mounds in the area, of which this is probably one.  It is one of a pair of shieling mounds which are situated near the crest of a hill.  The ground falls away steeply to the north, with a commanding view over the entire valley and the distant lowlands.


This mound is somewhat elongated downhill, possibly due to slippage downslope, and measures 5.0 metres long by 3.0 metres wide.  It is up to 0.3 metres high and the top is not flat.
