The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage. Aerial photographs (GB89.P.31 and P.38) show cropmarks of an extensive field system, defined by fosses, mainly rectilinear in character and in close association with a complex curvilinear enclosure (KK009-105----). These cropmarks are also visible on OS Ortho-imagery (viewed 31 July 2018) and appear to be different from the relict field system which is indicated on the 1st (1839) and revised 1900 eds of the 6-inch OS map and is also visible as cropmarks.
