Byermoor, farm buildings

Drystone walls act as field boundaries here. Some appear more substantial than normal and one section is faced, suggesting that it may once have formed part of a building. Elsewhere, the walls have been reduced to little more than stony banks. The wall acts as a substantial revetment, holding back a considerable depth of topsoil in the adjacent field. This topsoil may cover surviving masonry remains associated with a settlement or farm visible on a map of 1805. The settlement is not shown on any other map or plan.
