What is recorded here

At the crest of a gentle NE facing slope. Oval grass-covered area (int. dims 35.6m E-W; 28.3m N-S) defined by a stone spread (Wth 2.8-5.8m; int. H 0.4-1.5m; ext. H 0.5-0.8m) enhanced by recent field clearance and overlain by a drystone field wall (Wth 0.8-0.9m; H 0.8-0.9m). Some original inner facing stones survive at E. A rectangular drystone-built sheep pen (dims 10m E-W; 6m N-S) abuts the outer face of the wall at NNE, and an L-shaped drystone-built sheep pen (dims 2m N-S; 2m E-W) abuts the outer face of the wall at E. There is an entrance (Wth 3m), probably modern, at WSW, and the site is bisected by an ENE-WSW field wall. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
