Full Description

L22 (NF706004) A small building 5.6 x 4.8 m with a door in the north corner, butting on to a stone-and-turf enclosure 9.6 x 8.7 m. The hut is too small for a living house (4.2 x 3 m internal) and it is probably a lambing hut or temporary shelter associated with seasonal use of the pen.
