Browngill High / Slate Sill Level (01/08/15) |
|
| Following Browngill Burn down across the moor from the Nenthead / Garrigill road we soon came across an area that looked like a overgrown culvert. At the top of the culvert where you would expect the adit to be there was nothing but a stacked pile of stones. Looking at the wall above it was clear that the stones once where part of said wall, but must have fallen into the level, blocking it. However all was not lost. Mark found a hole just past the slipped stones and looking into it we could see the level at the bottom. It was only shallow, about 1.5m deep. At some point in the past, it looked like it had been covered up as there was what looked like lino pieces in it as well as a metal pipe. |
