(14/07/1993) Centred SX 6050 9110. A roughly rectangular and relatively stone-free patch lies within an area of much surface stone immediately south of the East Okement Farm enclosures. This area, which may have been deliberately cleared, measures approximately 60m north-west to south-east by 30m and is bounded on the south-west by a drainage ditch. It seems doubtful that this feature possesses any great antiquity.
