Srp Note (4 July 2011)
About ten small cairns at the head of a narrow valley 100m NW and upslope of Greenridge 1. Open sided structures, possibly sheep buchts, have been built into two of the cairns and close to the S edge of the valley is a double sided linear stone walled structure, 3m x17m, probably a sheep ree. A stone wall runs between two areas of outcrop at the top or NE end of the valley.
