Abstract: |
In response to a Countryside Stewardship Application a site visit was made to Mounboon Farm near Carey. The land had become very overgrown particularly with bracken. The current owner has mown much of the bracken and removed much of the dead timber. This revealed a series of strip lynchets, a deep holloway connecting the farm to the village of Carey and the stone footings from a possible mill with a system of weirs. A brief documentary search located an area within the study area which had been used as a musket, and later rifle range, originating from the Napoleonic era. |
