Full Description

A single row of stones runs from the terrace edge ENE converging on a more substantial turf and stone dyke which curves north and east to enclose a large area of grassy, now bracken-covered, improved ground containing field clearance piles. The field clearance is particularly noticeable along the terrace edge below the footpath. Higher sections of this dyke make use of rocky outcrops.The single row of stones is probably an earlier, possinly prehistoric alignment. (Photos no.27) <1>
