NGR: SK 30090 56195 - SK 30057 56195. Approximately 30m long drystone boundary wall that also acts as a retaining wall for the bank and wood behind. It is constructed from irregular gritstone blocks at its start, but after approximately 9m, it is mainly constructed from larger regular blocks that are laid in regular courses. Some blocks have evidence of tooling. The wall breaks after 20m where it is built up against the rock face on either side before continuing further. The wall is approximately 4m high. (1)
