East Applegarth, Richmond

Looking across a rough-grass terrace about 20 metres wide on a hillside. The hill falls away to the left where there are earthworks. A trackway comes up from the left foreground leading into the terrace, where a woman is standing looking away from the camera. — The enclosed terrace settlement above East Applegarth with a hollow way leading to it.
