Marked on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a subcircular field (diam. c. 60m), and visible on aerial photograph (CUCAP: K17 W 14). Situated on an undulating landscape. The wall of this field is collapsed drystone-built, the same as other walls in the area and there is nothing to suggest that this is any older or more interesting than any of the others.
