Archaeology Notes

NT26NW 471 21343 65200

This sheephouse is situated in rough pasture on the steep SW flank of Capelaw Hill, about 230m W of the remains of Capelaw farmstead (NT26NW 416). Subrectangular on plan, it measures about 16m from SE to NW by 2m transversely within a low grass-grown bank. It is open-ended on the SE and there is a possible entrance close to the NW end of the NE side.
