The National Monuments Service's description
System of field walls, oriented roughly NE-SW and NW-SE, defining rectilinear fields, and incorporating an enclosure (SL019-152001-), were recorded in an aerial photograph (ACP V 203/ 118-9; Roll 125, pr. 26). Not marked on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. The field walls have been partly levelled. Remanants of the walls shown extending SE from the enclosure may still be traced.
