The National Monuments Service's description
Situated 30m S of a moated site (WM008-088---) and 30m E of a building (WM008-112----) are traces of a field system consisting of small rectangular enclosures visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011. The moated site, the building and the field system all appear to be related and may represent a clustered settlement of possible medieval date.
