What is recorded here
Not indicated on either the 1837 or 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Situated atop an exposed summit of rocky hillock, in undulating mountain pasture on slight NNE-facing slope c.100m to the N of a now disused barytes mine. Views are good to excellent in all directions except W where obscured by higher ground. Complex, comprising the remains of three buildings (SL009-004001-; SL009-004002-; SL009-004003-), at least two of which are booley huts or small houses, associated with a field (SL009-004----). This house is located at centre of the complex, in the NE corner of the field. It is rectangular in plan (dims. 3.9m N-S; 2.3m E-W) defined by walls of irregular rubble limestone, un-coursed and un-bonded (max. H 1.55m; T 0.65m). Doorway (Wth 1.05m) at NW corner. Roof gone. Floor rocky and apparently un-surfaced. The remains are almost certainly post-1700 AD in date.
