Description
Structure aligned NNE to SSW, measuring about 7m by 4m. With walls up to 2m high externally on W side. Entrance in NE corner. Fallen slabs in SW corner may indicate a shelter. The existing structure appears to be a sheepfold, although it is not shown on the 1:10560 maps. However it is almost certainly built over a long hut, reusing its wall foundations which can be seen on the W side. A very denuded wall defining a paddock on the E side probably relates to the long hut not the sheepfold. The long hut was probably a hafoty. Seen on APs (Bluesky 2006 AP).
