(24/02/1988) The two features lie on open, undulating peat-covered moorland, adjacent to a large settlement and fragmentary field system (SX 67 SW 6).
SX 61187436. Identifiable on the ground as a slight sub-circular scoop in an east-facing slope this feature is caused by spring sapping and is of entirely natural origin.
SX 61397425. A small water-filled natural hollow is all that can be traced in the indicated.
Neither feature is of archaeological significance.
NB: these features have been included on the GIS layers based on this survey as prehistoric hut circles [Richards, A. F., 08/06/2022].
