Description
A small sub-rectangular sheep shelter that lies to the west of a trackway (NPRN 287113). It measures 2.5m long by 2m wide and is constructed of unworked medium to large stones that have been built into irregular courses. The walls are 0.50m wide and 0.70m high and utilise a large earthfast boulder at the eastern end, where a wall converges and lies adjacent, and parallel, to the shelter. The trackway is shown on both the 1st Edition OS mapping, as an unnamed feature, and the RCAHMW Aerial Photographic Interpretation.
