A view taken from the top of Cliff Rigg, the farm on the right is Rye Hill, which was on the south-eastern boundary of the ancient open field system known as ‘Wood Field’. Beyond was the common land, formerly ‘Dikes’. Just a hawthorn hedge, probably dating from the time of enclosure in 1658, separates the two.
