Sunday, 14th July 2002

Another ruined sweat house, but again noticably built into a bank that would hide it. The whole front is missing, including the entrance and much of the stone lies in the centre of the structure.

Despite being visible from the road the farmer seemed very surprised that I knew it was there and even more suprised that I wanted to see it.
