'Ruined drystone structure located in a sheltered hollow at the foot of an escarpment. It consists of a rectangular building of three compartments set on sloping ground, aligned SW to NE. The walls vary in thickness from 0.6 to 0.8m, where best preserved are 1.2m high and in places show signs of rebuilding. The main (lower) compartment has an irregular plan, with a sheep door in the far wall and a small pen inserted into the corner. A prominent mound on the SE side might be the remains of a collapsed structure. The uppermost (SW) compartment is clearly a later addition set onto steeply sloping ground. While the site appears to be an old sheepfold (and it is marked as such on OS maps), the narrow central compartment is better built and has a level floor neatly terraced into the hillside. It measures internally 6.6m by 2.3m and its proportions suggest it was a roofed building, probably a hafod or shepherd's hut. It seems to have had an entrance near the SE corner accessed from the main fold, and there was another doorway in the uphill lateral wall, though this could be an insertion. The location is fairly suitable for habitation, being sheltered from the prevailing wind, and close to a boggy hollow further north, which appears to be the remains of a silted-up pond, and where there is another drystone structure (NPRN 516739) presumably connected with agricultural practices.'
