Burn Divot Drovers House And Sheepfold Walls

Burn Divot Drover's House and the surrounding sheepfold walls are the ruins of a drover's house, dated 1736 on the door lintel. The house is constructed from dressed snecked stone and squared rubble walls. It is a roofless, single-storey structure with three bays. The central doorway features rusticated jambs and a lintel with a raised triple keystone, also dated 1736. The flanking windows have chamfered surrounds and were originally designed with two lights and a central mullion. The right gable end of the house remains almost at ridge height, while the left gable end has collapsed. The walls, which are 1.5 meters high, enclose a large U-shaped sheepfold with the house at its center, and they have roughly-shaped coping stones. This building holds social interest and contributes to the landscape value.
