Full Description

Dyke and cultivation
This stone built dyek runs for 100m in a southwesterly direction along the west side of an area of lazy bedding. The seven beds are orientated north - south, stand 1m high, 1.5m wide, have a wave length of 3m and appear to be hand dug. This cultivation is completely enclosed by a second stone dyke that creates a field measuring 50 x 80m.
