What is recorded here
In undulating rocky pasture, on a slight SE-facing slope. Immediately to E of two house sites (SL033-060002-; SL033-060004-) and another relict field (SL033-060003-). A pentagonal field (20m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.45m) with an external fosse (D 0.4m) or drain on the NE, SE, SW and NW sides. The N side is defined by a WSW-ENE relict field bank (int. H 0.65m) with a relict drain (D 0.7m) on its N side. The interior slopes gently down to S and is gently undulating. The natural ground level immediately to N of the field is higher than that of the interior. A short stretch of a relict field bank abuts the field at S. The banks enclosing this area are exactly similar in form to the relict field banks visible across the area. This enclosure appears to be a small relict field being part of the more extensive field system. Similar small relict fields are visible on the ground and the RMP (1995) map to the E and SE of this site. This is part of a larger field system (SL033-070----).
