Full Description

144
NB 1941 4370 28 m OD
Enclosure/ shieling
Measuring 2.5 m by 4 m, this suboval structure is oriented east-west and is of drystone construction with a possible entrance at the north end. Though the walls still stand up to 1 m in height it is not possible to say whether this site was ever roofed. A small subsidiary wall runs in a northerly direction for 3 m from the west end of the north side of the structure.
Field walking on 2/7/94
