What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana and c. 40m WSW of a hut site (KE068-043----). There are no visible remains of the small oval structure (diam. c. 4m) named 'sheepfold' on the 1894 OS 6-inch map and the possibility remains that it, like its neighbour (KE068-043----), may have been a hut site which was modified as a sheepfold.
