Full Description
MY64 (NL55198361) Shelter.
Location: Mid-slope shelf in prominent position.
Description: May originally have been circular, but much stonework is displaced to give oval, 4.8 x 3.8 m. Constructed of large blocks and thin slabs, many of which are set on edge around the outer ring. The centre is mounded, possibly from fallen material. Possible entrance to north.
Note: Rabbit burrowing and wind erosion active. Could be a disassembled peat dryer.
