Full Description

E 225:
Running between two bedrock knolls this dyke of stone and earth is orientated from north-east to south-west and is 13.75 metres long starting at NF 78401 12169 and ending at NF 78395 12158.
Interpretation: This feature defines the north-eastern end of a small field to the south-west creating a revetment that has allowed a soil depth of more than 0.5 metres to form in the valley. No cultivation can be seen within the area of this small valley.
