Set of goose rearing pens build into a bank, uncertain date possibly early C19, though situated near a farmhouse of C17 origins. Mounting block set to left.
The goose rearing shelters are rough stone chambers built into a low stone and earth bank. Three square entries with upright stone slabs between, stone slab lintels and roughly vaulted stone chambers within.
Included for special historic interest as an extremely rare surviving example of goose rearing shelters. The structures utilise ancient building techniques with stone lintels.
