Description
Land Use - Permenant pasture with some crop-growing in adjacent fields.
Description - Field is called 'The Park', which used to extend south-west as far as the Dee Estuary at Parkgate. There are at least two sunken ways running approximately south-west/north-east, plus a dried-up stream course between them, and numerous ridge and furrow traces. Land slopes gently through the fields to the estuary. Site has obvious interest, but there is no apparent danger to it from land use.
