Ok just been to see the field properly and all i need now is some mountain goat shoes and a big bonfire to clear the butterfly trees.
The first 10m is at a 45% angle and then it flattens out for the next 10m , then down another 45% for about 8m then flat for 10m , so giving me two flat pieces of 30' by 90' and two slopes to terrace.
Now the good news , no major weeds to speak off or problems so plain sailing on that front, and the soil looks like good growing ground.

What you need is a few pigs to clear it for you! Hard work ahead by the look of it, but no doubt you'll enjoy it - good luck!
