I used to go there as a kid and seem to remember lots of spent cartridges on the ground around this area. They were orange in colour, cylindrical approx. 2" long, maybe 3/4" diameter, with brass ends. We used to collect them, for what .. no idea. Was there some sort of shooting practice going on up there ?

Liked to fantasize that maybe they were left over from the Home Guard during the war... good job there was nowt there with a pin at the top.
