The road runs at the edge of woodland lining the north side of the trough Arn Gill. The elongated mound is probably just mine spoil - there was small scale coal mining in the area. Recently the bank has been cut through in a number of places, including immediately in front of the camera position. That apparently is an attempt by the estate to allow water to drain more readily from the road.
