Stone Shelter A dry stone shelter (or hide?) constructed at the summit of the hill (not named on OS map, but possibly "Lynturk Hill"?). It sits among other stones, some much larger in size. A line of such stones runs down hill in a roughly southerly direction. Not clear if the position of the surrounding stones is a natural phenomenon, a result of fairly modern field clearance, or something else?
