Shard Fence Project Shard Site Recording Shard Site Descriptions
The Valley has been broken down into eighteen areas, labelled A to S, which will be covered in Phase 1 by walk over surveys by teams of volunteers.
Areas R and S were covered by a previous survey and twenty sites have already been recorded.
Six areas, F/G/H/N/O/P, have sites recorded within or close the area boundaries. These will be our priority starting areas.
Conversations with farmers in four areas, A/B/D/K, suggest there are not any shard fences so will be treated as low priority to be covered.
Once a complete list of sites has been drawn up, Phase 2 will will revisit sites and begin a detailed recording using the national Park’s tablets, paper forms and photographs.
