The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1837 and 1913 editions of the OS 6-inch map. There are the remains of two apparently post-medieval fields at this location. This, the second field, is located 14m to the S of the first (SL009-025----) and consists of a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 18m N-S; 13m E-W) enclosed by a tumbled drystone wall (T 0.8-2m; H 0.1-0.5m) of rubble sandstone. The E side of the field is almost straight and is orientated N-S. A 5m wide N-S orientated band of sandstone scree separates the two fields. The interior of both fields undulates irregularly. The evidence suggests that these features are post-1700 AD in date.
