Description
Complex of modern sheep handling pens, including a dipping bath, foot bath, draining area etc. Divisions made from corrugated iron sheet with posts set into a concrete base. Surrounding boundary of pens is a mix of fence and post and rail. Debris from groundworks lies on the slope below the pens. The pens probably replaced an older stone-built sheep fold (NPRN 283150), which lies c.50m to the SE. Pens measure c.25m across, overall.
