Full description
Untitled Source (Migrated Record). SDV277810.
Des=worksheet/parish file. Vis=26/8/1980 (greeves, t. ). Sited just above the dry course of an old leat leading to kerbeam is a very fine example of a small so called 'beehive' hut with stones clearly overlapping inwards used in the construction of its walls. Roughly circular. 'roof' open. Most likely a store, as it is clearly too small to have been a dwelling.
