Description
A complex sheepfold with three parts - a semi-circular pound and, to the east, a pair of small square cells of about 2msq that are slightly raised above the rest of the fold - possibly lambing pens? The drystone walls stand up to 0.7m tall and 0.6m thick and the main fold measures approx. 4m by 6m with a westward continuation of the northern wall 5m long. Noted during an upland survey conducted by Archaeophysica during 2005-6
