Full Description
A sheepfold shown on the 1st Edition OS map at Hollandmey near Canisbay, Caithness (Caithness 1877, sheet vii).
This site was visited by SUAT in 2004 during a walkover survey in advance of a proposed windfarm development. It survived as three blocked openings in a boundary wall, of which the northern and middle openings retained intact lintels. There was no trace of the former enclosure and pens attached to the boundary wall. <1>
