Description
'Industrial site: red hill'. <1>
Fire bars and briquetage from red hill. <2> <3> <4>
Aerial photographs of the area, while fields have been harrowed, show that red earth is scattered over a much larger area than currently indicated. This would suggest that there are a number of red hills in the area. Photography when fields are ploughed should clarify matters by affording greater definition.
