Description
This small shelter, located 15 metres south-west of Garrow, dates from the 19th century or earlier and is constructed of granite rubble. It has a roughly circular plan and is built into the side of a bank. The exterior features a low profile with a rectangular entrance at the front. The roof is roughly corbelled granite rubble, and the floor is made of earth. The structure has partly collapsed. An illustration of this building can be found in Sir John Maclean's "Parochial and Family History of The Deanery of Trigg Minor in the County of Cornwall," published in 1875.
