In rough coastal pasture, located to E and S of Staad Abbey church (SL005-022001-). A survey in 2000 recorded a low, ill-defined grass-covered bank located c. 30-35m E of the church, bordering a low break of slope between the drier pasture surrounding the church and lowlying damp, rush-grown ground beyond. A similar low, ill-defined bank (Wth 1.5m; h 0.25M) curves roughly E−W in shallow arc c. 30m S of the church. These banks may define an outer boundary enclosing the church, or may be remnants of a field system associated with the medieval settlement at the church. A resistivity survey carried out in this area showed linear features, possibly remnants of medieval or post-medieval field boundaries, now overlain by a grid of 19th century field fences.
