Erosion of peat on Deanhead Moor, Scammonden
This is at the edge of a little valley, the one shown in SE0214 : Minor clough on Deanhead Moor, Scammonden. It seems that the flow of water after heavy rain keeps to the edge and has eroded the peat down to a layer of stones. The peat was about two metres deep where I was standing.
