What is recorded here
Half a kilometre of rough pasture holds two oval enclosures joined at the seam, their grassed walls still drawing a line the sheep never crossed. A cairn sits sixty-eight metres to the northwest, watching the first enclosure like a sentinel that forgot which kingdom it guarded. The field boundary curves east from the northeast perimeter, suggesting the whole landscape was shaped before anyone thought to call it pasture.
On high semi-karst, rough pasture within an extensive field system (CL010-064001-). An oval enclosure (c. 28m NE-SW; c. 22m NW-SE) defined by a grassed-over wall, visible on OSi MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018) and on Digital Globe (2011-2013). A curving field boundary extends E from the NE perimeter. A second enclosure (CL010-244----) is conjoined at SE. A cairn (CL010-029----) lies c. 68m to the NW.
