Full Description
Remains of field system/field banks/rig and furrow and market place. Traces of 70 small cairns, ranging from 1.5m to 5m in diameter, are spread over 7ha. Gaps in distribution may be due to both modern agriculture, and rig and furrow plus associated banks. There are few traces of banks amongst the cairns. Three possible small rectangular structures to the S may be associated with a market place found on 1789 and 1807 estate plans and marked on the 1st edition OS map.
