Full Description

The site was visited and photographed by D Glass in June 2013. He described the site as:
"The remains of a small shieling hut measuring 4m by 2.5m externally. At its northeast end there is a crudely constructed V-shaped shelter, probably a later addition.
The remains of a second building measuring 2m by 1.5m lie nearby and to the north at NC13043 26558. This is built into the slope and is likely to have been a dairy store." <1>
