Vis=12/11/1991 (rchme) from c. Sx86815975 to sx86675974 is a prominent lynchet. Max 1.5m high, 5.7m wide. At its w end it curves around to sw, petering out into the hillslope. There is a short curving fragment of similar lynchet further up the hill at sx86644970. These lynchets are well defined and probably relatively modern. No other evidence of contemporary cultivation is evident in surrounding pasture fields (sainsbury).
