The National Monuments Service's description
A field system is evident on OS aerial photographs (c. 2005) and on Bing maps (Accessed: 4 December 2012) on the S-facing slopes below the stone rampart of the hillfort on Brusselstown Hill (WI027-018----), within the larger Spinans Hill hillfort complex (WI027-078001- / WI021-080001-). Part of this field system comprises a field boundary (double-walled in places) extending NNE-SSW 18.4m W of a hut site (WI027-019003-) and is composed of large boulders (Wth c. 0.7-1m). Another field boundary (Wth 0.6m) extends NNE from the N side of another hut site (WI027-019004-).
