The National Monuments Service's description
Not listed in either the SMR (1989) or the RMP (1995). Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. In gently undulating wet pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. The field system is very low in profile and consists primarily of relict field drains (Wth Top 4m-5m; Wth base 1.5m-2m; D 0.15-0.3m). The field system is visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 267-8). This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date.
