Netherwood Farm
The farm is located at a bridging point and just above the floodplain of the Greenock Water. It is a farm with an interest in both sheep and beef cattle. Located on the south facing slopes of a ridge running up to the summit of Middlefield Law (Image), there is a marked contrast between the improved grassland round the farm and the moorland vegetation of the north facing slope in the foreground. There are several areas of new plantings of trees along the small tributary valley above and to the side of the farm buildings.

Dry-stane dyke
The valley of the Greenock Water benefits from having a band of limestone which has been quarried over the years and used to improve the quality of the grassland. Here it has been used to provide a boundary wall along the minor road which links with the A723 Strathaven to Muirkirk road in NS6930. The improved grassland lies on the slopes of a ridge which runs north-east to the summit of Middlefield Law (Image).
