Why it ended
The saved account records: The wall (H at W 0.8m) is composed of a combination of single large boulders (T c. 0.5m) and tumbled down sections of boulders two to three courses high
Why it mattered
Indicated — Rinmore matters because the source ties field boundary to this exact landscape and preserves evidence that a bare map name loses. The saved account adds: Cartographic evidence indicates that the area around the enclosing wall was subject to flooding and so it is likely that the wall simply delimits higher ground.
