Type and Period (3)
Protected Status
Full Description
A roughly terraced area, about 10 metres by 8 metres immediately westnorthwest of the old cowshed at SS 7588 4966. The area is lumpy and irregular and may simply represent the remains of quarrying activity, or the parking area for farm machinery. However, the line of two other features possibly met at this point (MDE21853). The area was overgrown with nettles and thistles at the time of survey. Nothing is shown on the historic map sequences and if there was any quarry or building here it has long been demolished. [1]
