A Large Area of Denuded Hillside in Portland?

I saw a large area of denuded hillsides south of Fruitful Vale in Portland.  

The perimeter of this area is approximately 831 m. The approximate area of the denuded hillside is 30,300 m sq. What is happening in the hills of Portland? This location is 18° 06' N and 76° 33' West.

I will ask my friends in geology or related fields to provide me with more information.

Editor's Note:

Professor Simon Mitchell at the University of The West Indies says this is a series of large landslide scars. 

Professor Mitchell says these slides are natural and reflect the evolution of these slopes and hills.
