Full Description
A c. 1m deeo ditch running in a straight line up the hillside, with a drystone wall above on the northern side. Near the upper end the ditch is partially backfilled by spoil from lead workings (see SMR 28923). No boundary is shown on the 1804 map, meaning that either both wall and ditch post-date this or whether the wall is a 19th-century addition to an earlier ditch. (1)
