Summary
The 'Shovel Down' axial boundary consists of an intermittent low bank approximately 0.15 metres high with a few exposed stones. Excavation in 2003 showed that the reave was not built as a continual feature but comprised a series of separate sections built at different times suggesting an incremental process for the field system. Part of the wider reave system MDV29124.
