Full Description

Turf dyke recorded during field survey.

This low turf and stone dyke follows an irregular route enclosing the area of possible shieling structures. Where it passes
through wet ground it has almost entirely disappeared but on better drained ground is clearly visible and stands up to 0.4m high. At its closest it is only 10m from the present access track. <1>
