Scope and Content The image shows a number of enclosures, of at least two distinct types, probably associated with livestock. The irregularity of footprint suggests that they pre-date the influx of large-scale sheep farming. If there are any hut or house structures, they are not readily apparent. What appears to be an irregular head-dyke runs from centre right to upper left, continuing out of shot. This suggests that the enclosures in the image may be part of a larger township, raising the possibility that the associated habitations may be out with the area of the image.
