Description
The Old Sheep Dip, located 50 metres east-south-east of Hymerford House, is a sheep dip dating from the 19th century. It features local stone rubble walls and dressed stones that have grooves for water barriers. The layout includes a bypass to the main stream, a small bridge leading to an island with a platform for sheep handlers, a first dipping tank designed for one large sheep, and a secondary tank with a stone-paved exit ramp. The current owners uncovered the structure in June 1983, revealing an interesting survival that may be a very early example of its kind.
