Description

Culvert running north-east/south-west constructed from large rectangular sandstone (0.7m x 0.3 x 0.14m). The line of the culvert was continued to the north-east by the line of an open ditch. Presumably the drainage feature represented by this open ditch had been culverted at this point to enable access into the field.
