ON the hillside south of the village of Sutton-in-Craven is an unusual level area of land. Topographically it is known as a slump and appeared when the land slipped and settled after the permafrost melted at the end of the last Ice Age. It lies below the road that passes Lund’s Tower (Sutton Pinnacle) and just above High Jackfield Farm. As well as being a topographical anomaly it is also the site of several curious earthworks, two long mounds each about two feet in height and a square earthwork surrounded by a ditch and with an open central area, like a small courtyard. A third long, low mound lies a short distance below the slump above High Jackfield.
