The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified 'Sweathouse'. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. In poorly drained pasture, at the base of a gentle N-facing slope. The remains consist of a semicircular depression (diam. c. 3.3m; D 0.7m) lined with stones. There is a modern field drain to NE and a field boundary to E. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
