Description
A 2-cell sheepfold in the acute angle of 2 field walls, on the W boundary of the Gamallt Estate. It is16m long N-S x 4.5m, with drystone walls partly standing to their full-height of 1.5m, including stone coping. The entrance is at the S end, with a 3m guide wall projecting to the E, whilst the dividing wall between the cells is mainly fallen or taken down. The W boundary is formed by the field wall, which effectively acts as a guide wall before meeting the 2nd field wall which runs NW-SE. The sheepfold and the 2 field walls are shown on the 1891 OS map.
