Full Description
Remains of shielings, comprising at least sixteen turf-and-stone walled huts, a turf pen and what may be a kiln. The huts appear to be subrectangular in plan and most are aligned between northwest to southeast with entrances on the west or southwest. They range in length from 6.5m-12m and between 3.6m-7.5m in breadth. At least two of the huts display robber trenches. One of the huts has an outshot on one end. At least one hut appears to be built over the end of another and there is a midden heap outside the entrance. What may be a kiln is set into the slope of a terrace a few metres northwest of a hut, at NO 23519744. Its bowl is 2m in diameter with a flue opening to the west. A turf pen lies to the north of the main group of huts, 14m by 6m with turf banks 1.4m in thickness and 0.35m in height. Walkover survey was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in June/July 2015 to assess damage on the Mar Lodge estate resulting from flooding in the wake of storm Bertha.
