Full Description

A sheepfold enclosure appears on the 1st edition OS Map, and so dates to, at latest 1876, although it was most likely of an earlier date. The wall encloses a flat plateau with a small burn to the north and west. Turf was used along the top of some sections of the wall.

The site was visited and photographed by Jon Haylett on the 4th of November 2013. <1>
