Field system in Ardros

In level grassland. Aerial reconnaissance in August 1984 (ASGAP 171:18) revealed a series of cropmarks in meadowland. These comprised at least one possible field, roughly square in plan (NW-SE c. 150m), within which internal divisions were visible. Two smaller enclosures were also discernible outside it at NW and NE. Bands of nettles were also noted to S during fieldwork, possibly indicating further cropmarks.
