The Rheast C
Archaeology
There is a possible settlement in the wider area here, said to include a "camp" but also a system of modern field boundaries and a trackway. These features represent a system of farming and field lay-out which was decaying at the time of the Ordnance Survey map of 1869. They consist of field banks which fit into the field lay-out shown on the 1869 map but which has since been superseded by different field boundaries. The trackway also fits into this old farming method and no doubt served as communication between an outlying sheep-fold and the farm.
