The soil is of good quality in front, and fair at the back, resting on clay-and-rock formation.

The section is well watered by springs and small streams. The improvements, which are out of repair, comprise 160 acres grassed, stumping, fencing, orchard, two-roomed cottage, old whare: total, £205 5s. 5d.
