The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and (RMP) and classified 'Sweathouse'. In pasture, at the bottom of a narrow steep-sided ravine and 5m S of a stream. A roughly circular area (c. 3m N-S; 3m E-W) recessed NE-SW into the base of a slope and defined W-N by a low stone bank (Wth 1.5m; H 0.4m). There is a narrow gap (Wth 0.6m) at N. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
