Erosion prevention measure on Dead Man's Hill The piles of stones in the peaty gully restrict the flow of water and will retain loosened peat so limiting further erosion. The immediate gully doesn't appear to have been eroded badly but near the centre of the image, beyond the stones, this branch enters a larger and more badly affected channel which should now be defended. The flat-topped hill in the distance is Little Whernside.
