Summary
[edit]DescriptionScowther Knowe from Big Law - geograph.org.uk - 1375100.jpg |
English: Scowther Knowe from Big Law The parallel lines of cord rig cultivation are clearly visible in the foreground and on the flanks of Scowther Knowe. This is a system of cultivation practiced in prehistoric and later upland Britain. Spades were used to excavate raised banks for cultivation with channels running alongside for drainage. It gives rise to parallel ridges of earth around 1 m wide and 0.15 m high separated by shallow furrows in small fields. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cord_rig
In this case the presence of cord rig is associated with a palisaded settlement with inner hut circles near the summit of Scowther Knowe which is clearly visible on aerial photographs. http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/59049/details/scowther+knowe/ |
