Full Description

Over grown earthen dyke running along the length of the field, paralell to the shore line, it is only visible within this croft division.
The 6" 1st edition OS map sheet (1849) shows the ruins of a former farmstead (SMR.4207 )and it would seem that this dyke is a remnant of the original boundary that surrounded this farm.
