A path through the bracken along the central fence line can be seen.

The Island is not readily visible, and has trees on the west bank casting a shadow over the north end.  The causeway is just visible as a dark line across the tussocky stream.  There is one pond visible down stream.

There is some scraping to the east side of birch grove and west of owl wood.

the exact nature of the bracken clearance is still not clear to me.  There are clearly big tracks over the earthworks where the underlying soil is exposed, but the rest is difficult to judge, and indeed there is clearly some residual bracken coming though.   Perhaps this is what a scrape looks like after a year, with the peat piles covered by bracken.
