Full Description
Two areas of rig and furrow situated in dense coniferous woodland, one recorded by RCAHMS during field visit in 1998 and one recorded by C. Shepherd for Forestry Commission in 2008. The southern most area of rigs, which measure about 8 m in breadth and are aligned roughly north and south, have been truncated on the west by the excavation of a sand-pit. The northern most area is described as having a wavelength of approximately 6 m at the southern end, but the final two visible seem to have a wavelength of 10 m. The rigs are then interrupted by a modern track.
