The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in both the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Sweathouse'. In poorly drained pasture on the N bank of a stream. There are no visible remains of any structure but there is a slight hollow (4m WNW-ESE; 1.5m NNE-SSW; D 1.5m) in the stream bank. There is no local knowledge of a sweathouse here. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.
