Site visit 17th October 1977. A series of four well defined strip lynchets extend along an east slope. Those retained as modern boundary have quickset hedge but all appear to be of medieval origin and are bisected by the later road to the 18th-19th century complex of South Hole Farm.

Rapid examination of aerial photographs suggests they are more likely to be open fields (probably medieval) than strip lynchets.

A fragmentary ordered, rectilinear linear system, 'field' size on average 80m by 50m, is visible as earthwork and cropmark banks and ditches on aerial photographs taken in 1986. It is interpreted as of medieval or later date.
