Condition Survey (21 September 1997 - 21 September 1997)
A well-built drystone sheepfold survives measuring c14m sub-square over walls up to 1m wide in places and up to 1.4m high. Abutting one of the walls of the sheepfold, an area c11m by c4m may once have been roofed.
This sheepfold was shown on the 1874 and 1902 OS maps, being described as 'Old Sheepfold' on the latter survey; it was probably built in the early to mid-19th century. The shape varies on both surveys and on the current OS map. However they are considered to be all recording the same feature.
