(Visited 18/02/2014) Wall dimensions are 2.0 metres wide by 0.4 metres high on average. The wall can be followed from the woodland at SX82288421 to SX82358409 for approximately 175 metres in a roughly north / south direction but curves toward the south-east at the southern end.
Another boundary of similar construction and dimensions can be seen coming off from this boundary at SX8233 8407 and runs north-east for approximately 125 metres until the modern field boundary (this boundary may be prehistoric origin). Could be same as MDV26505?
