A cast iron bracken roller, located in a very isolated position on the open hillside. Main frame consists of a cast iron bar 5m long, behind which are 7 breakers in 2 lines (4 + 3, alternating). The breakers are horizontal bars c0.6m long, attached by chains to the main frame. Each section has small solid wheels to each end; these are marked 'Holt Breaker R3 M4' and 'Pats UK and abroad'. Large chains attached to front of main frame would link to a tractor. A shiny new nut on the machinery suggests it is still in use.
