Simm's Sheepfold (ruin)
An old sheepfold, repurposed from an older ruin - possibly also a sheepfold.
Located below Simm’s farm ruin and beside the route of an old farm track.
The structure is shown as a ruin on the older maps, bisected by a field boundary (now removed) and with two rectangular blocks on the east side of the large, open area. Possibly animal pens, but of a similar size to the footprints of local farm houses.
