The National Monuments Service's description
A possible field system identified as cropmarks on an aerial photograph (GSI 1973-7). It consists of two roughly parallel ditches (L c. 300m) running NW-SE, the easternmost appears to run southward from the E angle of a moated site (KK002-003001-). The ditches towards the N are c. 90m apart and narrow towards the S to c. 60m apart. There are also two ditches at right angles between the NW-SE ditches. These may be part of a field system associated with the moated site or may be related to later farm drainage activity. The field system was not visible at ground level at time of inspection.
