Remains of a cultivated plot
The remains of a cultivated plot, with ridges spaced 1.5 metres apart, can be seen here. The plot measures 75 metres (SW-NW) by 45 metres (ESE-WNW, the orientation of the ridges); only the SW half is easily seen on the ground. Such a plot would normally be found next to a farmhouse, but there are no definite remains of buildings to be seen on the ground here, only small rectilinear areas of shorter vegetation near the north-western edge of the cultivated plot; these could be a faint indication of the former presence of structures.
