DescriptionA sheepfold shown on the 2nd edition 1:2500 Ordnance Survey map and labelled as such. It is not shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. When visited, it was a three-celled structure, aligned northwest -southeast above the east side of a stream, measuring 12.5 metres by 4.6 metres. The southeast cell is dry stone, and may have been re-used as a sheepfold. The walls are 0.75 metres wide and stand up to 0.8 metres high, with an entrance on the northeast side. The other cells are now covered with grass and moss. The wall bases are 0.70 metres wide; each cell steps down to then southeast . The southeast wall is revetted into the slope, with a "yard" area on the northeast, possibly defined by a rough revetment on the southeast side. There is an enclosure, NPRN 521462, to the southwest.
