whn - rebuilt wall-head [HWW]

whn - rebuilt wall-head [HWW]
A nicely rebuilt gate-end or wall-head. Note the use of very large stones to keep the structure stable. Also note that the wall is not capped by coping stones, as it is still being used as a clearance or consumption wall, ie one built of stones cleared from the enclosed fields. The gateway and the track / footpath I am standing on are covered in cobbles - medium sized stones - used to reinforce the surface in wet weather, especially as this is a well-walked route.
