Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and standing building survey were carried out on a shieling hut and possible enclosure alongside the Allt Coire Chaorach near Crianlarich in advance of the structure being destroyed to create the main inlet for a small scale hydro electric scheme. Overall, the shieling measured 6m NE to SW by 4.2m externally and 4.2m by 2.4m internally. It was of dry-stone construction, consisting of large un-dressed river-rolled boulderss measuring up to c. 0.7m in length. The walls, which had been constructed directly onto the subsoil, were upstanding to a height of c. 1m, and had a width of c. 0.9m - 1m at the base, tapering to c. 0.4m - 0.5m at the top. Two opposed entranceways were present in the north-west and south-east walls, measuring 0.8m and 0.6m in width respectively. Modern posts were present on either side of the entranceway where wooden gates had been erected. The corners of the shieling were slightly rounded, being more pronouncedly so at the south-western end than at the north-eastern end. There were no internal features, with the building consisting of a single compartment. The evaluation confirmed that the shieling sat directly on top of a natural free-draining mound and that the possible enclosure was a natural river bank with no evidence of anthropogenic enhancement. No archaeological features were identified within any of the evaluation trenches.
