I love seeing these old ruins, though it somehow stabs my soul. I can imagine what a home such as this looked like in it's useful days, in all it's glory and strength. With the current turmoil going on in the world, the security of those thick walls would bring much comfort, in spite of the cold and drafty winters.
Well, off I go to daydream :-)
Hello Tamara,
This was most likely a shepherds house, as the fields surrounding it are not suitable for crops, more for grazing. I would say it's too high up for cattle, so only sheep would graze here or maybe goats.
The stone left lying around is most likely worth a bob or two if anyone could be bothered going getting it.
It is a shame it has ended up like this, but the towns in this area have regenerated a lot in recent years, so there is a glimmer of hope for this building.
Aha! Maybe that's why I feel drawn to it. I am a spinner and weaver of wool so maybe I am smelling the lanolin LOL
I certainly hope someone takes an interest. I truly enjoyed the tour!
