Full Description

A field system of approximately 7 hectares lies on gently sloping, N-facing ground and among short cropped turf. It comprises lengths of curvilinear field clearance and small clearance heaps partially covered by vegetation. The density of the clearance is greater in the centre of the system fading towards the W and E margins. No bounded plots are visible. The form of the field system suggests that it may be prehistoric.
Surveyed at 1:10,000. Visited by OS (J B) 13 November 1978.

Two medieval - post medieval possible shieling huts are located below the field system (see MHG12025)
