Field Visit (1999)
A bracken covered drystone structure is sited in the lee of an esker/kame to the E of the Glenrosa Water. It is aligned W-E and measures c4m by c2m over walls spread to c0.3m wide. At the E end the wall is standing c0.5m high, while at the W end the wall is less obvious becaus the whole structure appears to have been set on a slight platform cut into the lowest part of the esker/kame.
There is at least two other possible small structures set into the side of the esker/kame.
These structures could be an isolated shieling, used to watch over grazing on this particular terrace by the Glenrosa Water.
