Erratic boulders

A pair of wonderful, glacial erratics that lie just inside the field wall, itself made with glacially derived material. These are not bedrock, and their rounded features tell of immense forces at work during transport within a glacier. Each of these has a long axis of approximately 5 metres, and must weigh tens of tons.
