PeriodPost Medieval
Description
1) Long low narrow dry-stone structure built onto rocky rise above extensive peat bog. Although collapsed at the east end, the first section is still fairly intact and very well built, with some substantial, dressed stone blocks around the doorway and corners. Roofed with rough, flat slabs, walls which curve inwards towards the top, significantly reducing the roofed area.
Description based on GAT SMR record.

2) Site as described when visited as part of the Upland Survey.
