What is recorded here

In good pasture, situated on top of a prominent hill. Not listed in the RMP (1995). Not indicated on the 1838 and 1921 OS 6-inch maps. At this location are the sod-covered, wall footings of a small rectangular hut, with a ruined circular stone-built limekiln immediately to NW. Inspected in 1995, it appears to be associated with a ruined vernacular farmstead, probably no earlier in date than the 18th century.
