Field Visit (9 June 2010)
A quarry, measuring about 8m from E to W by 4.5m transversely and up to 1.8m in depth at its E end, has been driven into the W side of a craggy hilltop 290m E of Greenland farmsteading. The E end and N side of the quarry are overlain by a series of conjoined drystone pens which probably represent more than one period of construction.
