Full Description

A sheepfold and associated buildings shown on the OS 1st and 2nd Edition maps south of Garve, Contin. The site is labelled 'Knockglass' on the 2nd Edition map. <1> <2>

The site is probably associated with the dykes/enclosures noted during a walkover survey in 2011 (see MHG55907). The buildings have now been demolished but it would appear from analysis of APs that the northwest corner wall was still standing in 2008.
