Recently mown, but the bracken is coming through again.

Notice that there is virtually no gorse on either side of the track down to the bridge.

The strange square that is unmown is the area with difficult birch sapling now.  Is it too stony or what?  There is no obvious signs of scrapings.  But one can see some pale splodges in the area, 

In the first thick bit of bracken one gets to, moving into the left centre of the picture is the outline of one of the semicircular structures, which we now think of as a way of keeping the middle ground dry.  They always face down-hill.

You can see just one pond below the bridge.

Notice that forester's cottage was also doing some mowing of bracken at this time.
