The long, broad embankment here is called a headland. This is where the oxen were turned around at the end of ploughing the common field.
Just below, there used to be a barn, in what was once called ‘barnfield’. It is known to have been used by the Slack family who lived in the house with the cellar in 1845.
Archaeologists discovered wall foundations, nails, parts of a plough and stone cobbling.
There is a hollow-way to the left that crosses the River Dove.
Why is the barn no longer here and where did the stones from its walls go? Look around. Are there other buildings the stones may have been re-used in?
