Full Description

Lying immediately to the north of the forest access road, under mixed native woodland is a small area of lazy-bed cultivation. The 8 lazy-beds visible appear to be a remnant of a once larger area the southem part of which has been cut away by the access track. All 8 lazy-beds are 3m wide, surviving to 35m long at the western limit of the site and 20m at the eastern limit. <1>
