Remains of a shepfold 12m in diameter within a wall 1.5m thick. Some 20m NE are the grassed-over footings of a building measuring 13m by 5m; abandoned in the 18th/19th century.

Field Visit (28 November 2009)
Lying on a gently sloping area looking north over River Ledbeg, and 20m SW of HLP 131 is an earth and turf covered circular stone sheepfold. It is 12m in diameter, 0.2m high with 1m thick walls. There is rubble spread both inside and surrounding the enclosure and the south side is extremely overgrown with heather and long grass. There is no obvious entrance.
Situated on a relatively flat area on the south side of the valley, south of River Ledbeg, NE of HLP 130 and west of HLP 30 is an area of stone spread. This is potentially the remains of a building although virtually nothing remains.
