Agricultural archeology

Now that autumn is established and winter is just around the corner I have started to prepare to help the sheep over the cold season. I had noticed an uneven area of ground beside the coach house and wondered if it might be the site of an old sheep pen.

After five hours of ground clearance it is clear that something used to be here. There is a good collection of shaped stone and certainly enough to create a stone sheep pen. Over the next weeks we will have to reclaim the stones and refashion the walls.

As if to confirm the change of season there was snow on top of Calder Idris.
