Blinkin' Romans couldn't build a decent wall ... ours were much bigger and better, er, 1500 years later

Some sort of shelter on Cockfield Fell, not sure what it was but it's definitely a bit of a ruin now.

Looking behind it, I wonder if it may be some sort quarrying shelter

It certainly could be, there's been coal mining and quarrying on the fell for centuries, with lots of ancient pits, holes and spoil heaps. I'm sure there was actually a coke works around that very area last century. The vast majority of buildings are long gone except this one. There seems to be evidence of railway sidings just south west of here, running off the main (long gone) railway line, and visible on Google maps. I feel the need for a 'your bike in front of old industry' photo! As an aside, a club mate from years ago was an enthusiast of old bricks from obscure, long closed brickworks and I'm pretty sure he'd occasionally end up with a couple in his saddlebag that he'd found on a club run!
