A rectangular sheepfold, aligned east to west, and with three ompartments at its western end, is depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st, 2nd and 3rd Edition maps (1864-1923). The sheepfold is not shown on the 1976 Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 map, and has been replaced by a later structure.
Field survey identified the ruinous remains of an unroofed drystone walled
sheepfold, aligned north to south, corresponding to the structure depicted on the 1976 Ordnance Survey map. No remains of the earlier sheepfold (as shown on the Ordnance Survey 1st-3rd Editon maps) were visible. It appears that the earlier sheepfold was dismantled and the stone re-used to build the current structure.
