H 0.3m) NNE-E and WSW-WNW, separated by a rounded fosse (Wth of top 6-7.2m; Wth of base 2-3.5m; D 0.2-0.9m) from an outer bank (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) which only survives NNE-ENE and SSW-SW.

The later field system (RO027-056002-) is c. 100m to the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
