What is recorded here
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Sweathouse' in both. Located on a moderate N-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Rectangular structure (max. internal dims. 1.6m SW-NE; 1.3m NW-SE; H 1.1m) with drystone limestone rubble walls (T 0.3-0.4m). The walls are of un-mortared limestone flags and rubble laid in rough courses. The roof is corbelled with limestone slabs and is covered with sod externally. An irregular break (Wth 0.8m; H 0.7m) in the NW wall marks the position of the original entrance. The entrance was originally lintelled but has now collapsed. This is a post-1700 structure.
