The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified 'Field wall (s) Possible'. Not included in the RMP (1995). This is a field wall, composed of loose boulders, that runs across a neck of land with a cliff on the other three sides. It was in all probability constructed to prevent animals from falling off the cliff edge. This is a post-1700 feature.
