Hello All,

 

I am trying to work out what the attached map symbol means on a map from the 1850s.   The area covered by the chevrons is approximately 150m  NW to SE and 175 NE to SW.

 

I have reviewed NLS, OS, military and many other images of map legends and can not find anything to match. 

 

The area was on a hillside sloping down to a meandering river to the NW.  There is no access road so perhaps it is not a building but a set of drainage features?

 

If anyone can enlighten me that would be great!

 

Many thanks. 

 

Best regards,

 

Ann
