Field Visit (2008)
NC37SE 8 35570 71003
This rock shelter is situated at the foot of a steep, rocky slope immediately S of the farmstead NC37SE 5. It comprises a cave, measuring at least 5m from N to S by 2.5m transversely and up to 1.2m in height, below an accumulation of very large boulders, the mouth of which (on the N) has been partly closed by a low boulder wall. A second cave, which is situated immediately to the W and may also have been used as a shelter, was not accessible on the date of visit.
