Earthworks in a field of permanent pasture, centred at TL 6083 9633, comprise the truncated remains of steadings and a field system with a 'trackway' between them. The farmer states that masonry foundations lie near the surface over a large part of this field, but no structure outline is visible. Now all destroyed.
