'Situated on two large areas of rock outcrop in an area of reclaimed land, this system extends over an area measuring approximately 700m N-S by 400m E-W. Again, its location on rocky outcrop has undoubtedly led to its survival despite the reclaimation of surrounding areas. Modern field boundaries have been removed in areas off the outcrops/reefs and remain only as crop marks, the same is true of the older system, which survives as low level remains only on the reefs. The area is dominated by two main low level reefs, one running from the northern end of the site to the south for a length of 400m and extending east-west for 160m. The smaller reef is located on the western side of the site, again running north to south. It is 270m long and 100m wide.'
