(Classification amended to Rig; Quarry-pits). Traces of rig-and-furrow are visible in a small area of ground beneath the E side of a stand of mature deciduous trees about 250m SE of Waterside farmsteading (NJ81NW 166). The rigs, which measure about 5m in breadth, are aligned N and S. Beneath the W side of the stand of trees there are several small, shallow quarry-pits, none larger than about 3m across and 0.6m in depth.
