Possible ditch on south side. Sinuous course ends near parish boundary. Middle wall, south of line of trial pits, runs uphill to tramway track. Ditch on north side. South wall runs uphill steeply 1.5m wide and 0.3m high. Ditch on the south side ends among probable tinners' diggings east of tramway track. The hooked end on the western side is not part of this wall but almost certainly an old quarry. The wall here is about 3-4m high. The tramway track is along the western side.(gray).
