(16/10/1990) Centred SX 6693 8611. Approximately 0.2 hectares of cultivation ridges on a moderate E facing slope within enclosed land immediately E of Kestor Rock. The ridges measure between 1.4m and 1.7m wide and remain to a maximum height of 0.15m. Their slightly irregular appearance suggests that they are the result of spade digging and are of a relatively recent date.
(See illustration card, SX 68 NE 94 No 14).
