Description:
|
This anonymous plan entitled 'A sketch of the moor ground called the Long Hills' is dated to the 18th century. It shows the area of Long Hills, Rathven, covered in short heath with settlements and arable ground around it. This was one of many areas of muir which the proprietors had tried to improve. An annotation recording that one field had been recently improved but was reverting to heath shows the difficulty of improvement. Annotations include a reference to quarrying stone for the flour mill. Areas that tended to flood in winter are noted. A drainage channel was used to keep water off the arable fields.
