What is recorded here

Half a metre of wall still stands beneath a sheepfold on the Tonavane cliff, a round chamber wide enough for one person to turn but no wider. The fold took its stones from the collapsed hut, so the new cage wears the bones of the old one. Someone lived there above the Srahanatorin, watching water and sky, then disappeared far enough that living sheep now walk through the remains of their room.

'Located on gently sloping ground above a low, sheer cliff on the eastern side of the Srahanatorin stream, just south of its confluence with a smaller stream. The site affords expansive views to the north, east and west. The site has been badly interfered with and is composed of a jumble of stones that has been formed into a sheepfold in more recent times. However on the southern side of this more modern construction and partly hidden beneath it are the stone foundations of a circular hut. The hut measures 3.4m east to west and the foundations, partly covered in peat, suggest a wall width of 0.6m.No entrance can be discerned. It is probable that the stone for the sheepfold that partly obscures the site was taken from the collapsed hut. There are a number of slab like stones in the area of the hut, two of which stand on edge, partly covered by peat, and may represent field walls.'
