M Greig 1999.
A patchwork of plots of rig is visible in rough pasture about 200m SE of Beechfield. Of various alignments and breadths, the area of the rig is truncated on the ESE by a large conifer plantation, and on the WNW by improved fields; on the NNE and SSW the rigs peter out in former moorland.
