NO 6495 9977 – NO 6495 9999
An area of rig and furrow running at c85° and with wavelengths of between 8–10m. The southern portion of the rigs is badly ploughdamaged and variation in the wavelengths may reflect their poor survival. This system appears to have been cut by the enclosure shown on the 1st Edition OS map. A new system running at 340° and with a wavelength of 10m was recorded at NO 6498 9992. These appear to have been cut by the area
of quarrying (NO69NW 48).
NO 6491 9976 A scatter of stones to the W of the entrance to the enclosure has no recognisable form and
might be field clearance from the rigged field (noted above). However, the undergrowth makes visibility difficult and may be obscuring features.
