This one roomed hut just above the aqueduct bridge
with the remains of an old stove and coat pegs on a wall was built
for workman to shelter in.On the other hand it may not have,though
it seems to be of the right age - and why else have a one roomed
hut there

This hut we think may be associated with the Thirlmere scheme -
not as old perhaps as the Scandale one above. The pipes outside
we cannot be sure of, given the proximity of other reservoirs close
by. I am not sure they are big enough. The pipes are metal but the
interior has thin concete lining, which i am not sure the original
thirlmere ones had.
Scorton fell nearby has two siting pillars
on it and another larger one visible across the valley- not marked
on the OS maps of either scale
