The National Monuments Service's description
Listed as ‘Field system’ in the RMP (1996). A possible field system was noted here in 1996 (pers. comm. Christine Grant). A number of field walls, mostly aligned NNE-SSW are visible on aerial photographs (http://binged.it/1P6Abo3; accessed 12 January 2016). Some of these are clearly in association with turf stands (CL002-071002-), of which there are a large number, and they may be related in terms of their date.
