What is recorded here

Toor is a drowned estate where forgotten walls still break through the bog beside an unnamed lake. Stones rise intermittently through long moorgrass, marking fields that people may have tended before the land swallowed their labour. The valley keeps what it takes, preserving shape and extent while removing the hands that made them.

In rough pasture, on bog, to the S and SE of a small lake in a NE-SW valley. A network of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.55m; H 0.5m), consisting of stones that protrude intermittently from the bog, occurs in an irregularly shaped area (c. 250m NE-SW x c. 100m NW-SE) to the S and SE of a small unnamed lake. Long moorgrass hides many of the stones, making it difficult to determine the extent of the relict field boundaries.
