Description
Streamside sheepfold marked on the 1887 OS map, with adjacent sheepwash (nprn 513765). Two cells side by side and oriented NW-SE, respectively 12m by 4.5m and 7m by 4m. The larger cell has an entrance in the W wall; the smaller cell an entrance in the S wall, with sheep-creep linking the two cells. Drystone construction to 1.4m, built into a bank on the E side, with minor collapse on the N side but otherwise in very good condition.
