The stream shown on the smaller scale OS maps (1:25,000 and 1:50,000) as crossing the field occupies a thin band of limestone and now flows underground from sinks on the west side of the improved land, emerging in this hollow in the photo foreground on the east edge. It has been utilised by the landowner to the east of the wall (left) by using it to supply two ponds along its course on the down-slope just above its junction with the Hopeshield Burn Image A previous photo taken in the opposite direction in evening sunlight Image picks out the subtle contours of the shallow valley that runs across the field showing the course of the underground water-course.
