What is recorded here

Half-buried stone walls stretch two kilometres across the heather and shallow bog beneath the East Pap of Dana, marking a forgotten landscape where three hut sites and an enclosure still hold their shape. The boundary is not a line on paper but a living edge, with curving and straight sections rising through the earth as if the hill itself remembers the shape of human hands. To walk it is to touch the patience of stone, the breath of moss, and the quiet persistence of life that shaped the land before records existed.

In rough heather-covered hill pasture in cutaway bog, on the lower N-facing slopes of the East Pap of Dana. Both linear and curvilinear stretches of collapsed, stone field walls (T 0.8m; H 0.5m) protrude intermittently from the remaining shallow bog, in a large irregularly shaped area (c. 2km NE-SW; c. 650m NW-SE). There are three hut sites (KE068-126002-, KE068-126003-, KE068-126004-), an enclosure (KE068-126005-) and a standing stone (KE068-126006-) within this field wall network.
