Full Description

Two pits were recorded during walkover survey. Two sub-rectangular pits, 0.3m deep have been dug into the top of a small grassy knoll with some short heather. The SW pit is 1m square and the other is 2m square (Plate 8); they are separated by 1.5m. There is no sign of any civilisation close to here for them to be potato pits, so their use remains a mystery. <1>
