Full Description

7: NB 3293 2137. field survey revealed a large area that showed evidence of rig and furrow cultivation that was confirmed on aerial photographs taken in 1946 (CPE/Scot?UK 189 no. 1064). However there appears to have been a substantial amount of herringbone type drainage channels cut into the earlier cultivation that has disturbed the morphology of the ground surface.
