Limestone boulders on Tommy Low Pasture
Although there is no bedrock in evidence, the short green grass is indicative that limestone lies close to the surface here, and there are lots of limestone bouders dotted about. The nearest has clearly been used by sheep as shelter from the wind, leading to a "moat" of eroded aoil around it and showing that the soil also contains rocks other than limestone in its matrix. In the middle distance, the group of trees are Kealcup plantation on the NE side of Kealcup Hill.
