Full Description

L13 (NF692003) A rather amorphous heap of stone blocks, heavily grassed over and disturbed, with possible traces of a wall alignment 2 m long and 0.6 m wide at one point. The site is located on a low rise between two streams on a steep hillside. There was undoubtedly a structure of some sort here, most probably one or more sheoherd's shelters.
