North from Nine Standards high ground descends gradually and mainly is grass covered but some rock is exposed. Gritstone has been quarried on a small scale but in this image and certainly on the distant hill to the north there's much scattered white rock; limestone surely. The purpose of the short section of dry stone walling is unknown.
