Full Description
A watching brief by AOC in 2013 on topsoil stripping for two turbines and associated control building and access tracks recorded a number of features relating to the post medieval farming landscape but no other archaeological features or artefacts. The features comprise two boundary dykes, each with associated ditches to either side of the dyke, identified as upstanding monuments. One was probably a head dyke, a boundary feature of townships.
