Quote from the Artist: “Fragment of wall wrapped in lead in memory of lost function.”
Just north of the visitor centre on the Grizedale Tarn trail. It was a part of a wall cased in lead. Poulson liked the idea of preseving the heritage of the place. Before it became a commercial forest, it would have been fields and fells, and full of dry stone walls. This seemingly isolated bit of dry stone wall was all that remained in this area.
Like its counter part Sitka Horizontalis, someone stole the lead and now it is simply a wall again. It must have in the early 2010s. I haven’t been past it in a few years so I’m unsure as to what remains of it if any.
