Beehive Shielings in Morsgail Forest (Gearraidh Bheinn Na Gile), Isle of Lewis

The Beehive Shielings in Morsgail Forest, located on the Isle of Lewis, consist of a group of corbelled "bee-hive" type sheilings situated in a remote moorland area near a stream above Abhainn a Loin. While the exact date of construction is unknown, these structures likely pre-date the population clearances of the 19th century and showcase an ancient building technique that utilized locally available materials to create effective weatherproof shelters.

The group primarily features three adjoining cells, with only the inner cell retaining its roof at the time of inspection in 1989; the outer two cells have had their roofs collapse. The surviving inner cell includes two low entrances with flat lintels, one facing west and the other leading into the southernmost cell. Constructed from undressed rubble, the interior of the cell is neatly built and partially covered with soil and torves, suggesting it may have been thickly turfed during its period of use.
