Summary

A roughly terraced area about 10 x 8m immediately WNW of the old cowshed. The area is lumpy and irregular, and may simply represent the remains of quarrying activity, or the parking area for farm machinery. However, the line of two other features (100977 and 100978) possibly met at this point. The area is overgrown with nettles and thistles at the time of the survey. Nothing is shown on the historic map sequences, and if there was any quarry or building here it has long been demolished.
