Full Description
This sheepfold is described in the Cultural Heritage chapter of an Environmental Statement for a proposed new wind farm. It lies in an area of rough ground just outside the enclosed fields to the south east of Upper Wathegar. It is clearly visible on vertical aerial photographs from 1946 and, according to modern aerial photography, now lies on the edge of a forest ride. <1>
