Full description

An extensive field system lies on open grazing land to the west and south-west of the medieval settlement of Crane Godrevy. The divisions between the strips comprise both upstanding banks and lynchets. Strips are sub-divided by banks running east-west across the main strip axis in several places. These large strip fields terminate at the parish boundary and whilst their date is unknown but they can be assumed to represent the arable fields of the settlement of Crane Godrevy.
