Full Description

NF 6866 0348
A few metres downslope from that wall (smr 13944), against a rock face is the possible site of a robbed round shelter and larger pen, robbed for the wall. Pen is 8.5m long and 3.5m wide. Cell is 2.5m long by either 2.8m or 4m wide. Looks less convincing close up, and at least one of the rocks looks broken by falling
