What is recorded here

Described in 1977, as a large complex of shallow fosses and low banks in a field to the SW, W and N of a horseshoe-shaped earthwork (WM032-093001-). Some of the fosses run for a long distance in a N-S direction and others run into them aligned E-W forming small fields of square and rectangular shapes containing cultivation ridges visible on aerial photographs. St. David’s Well (WM032-094----) located at the SSE of the field in which the field system is located. The adjoining fields to the S and SW contain traces of this field system. The dating of this field system is uncertain but the extensive scale of this system may suggest that it is post-1700 in date.
