Description
A area of 3 hushing channels each up to 6m wide and 2m deep. There is some evidence for transverse dams across the channels at various points along their length. Two small channels, up to 1m wide and 0.5m deep cross between the larger channels and could be the remains of earlier hushing channels.
The channels are truncated at their northern end by a spoil tip from a quarry and at their southern end by a quarry.
