Full Description
Wagmore, a minor deserted settlement, comprises a long-house, three dwellings or byres, a corn-drying kiln, a shieling-like cell and two enclosures, all reduced to overgrown footings, 0.8 m high, and surrounded by former cultivation which has reverted to rough pasture. The settlement was superseded by a shepherd's house (ND 0660 2615), itself now ruined, and a circular sheepfold.
