You've hit the nail on the head there. If they were putting the effort in to create the dyke system throughout the levels, why ignore the hill in their midst.

Because the levels were drained for grazing land - not for agriculture. You don't need to terrace the tor to throw a few cows on it.


But you do to get more land for crops... Maybe we should agree to disagree, I'm becoming circular. :-)
