What is recorded here

Located in the N face of a flat-bottomed quarry (dims c. 20m N-S; c. 10m E-W; D 1.5m at N to c. 4m at W) which is on the W side of a N-S road. The quarry is marked on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map but the sweat-houses are not. A rectangular house (ext. dims c. 10m E-W; c. 3.5mN-S) was built against the N wall of the quarry but this is now reduced to the base of the walls (max. H 1m). There are two sweat-houses placed c. 4m apart. The W structure is tear-shaped (int. dims 1.3m N-S; 0.95m E-W; H 0.6m), roofed with a large capstone, and has a small rectangular opening (Wth 0.45m; H 0.55m). The E structure has a lintelled doorway (Wth 0.4m; H 0.75m) and opens into a rectangular chamber (max. dims 1.6m N-S; 1.07m E-W; H 1m) roofed with two large capstones.
