Drystone structure
This monument consists of the remains of two drystone structures linked by a short wall. The more westerly structure is vaguely rectangular and appears to reoresent a temporary shelter or dwelling. The structure to the east is roughly D-shaped and built against a rock face. This structure appears to have been a stock enclosure. The monument is situated 40 metres to the west and down slope of NB 1923 4444 and runs parallel to it.
Field walking on 4/7/94.
