Most of these features are to the west of Foss Way, with the crofts arranged at right angles to it. Eight of the pits are to the east of Foss Way. A series of probable trackways and field boundaries on alignments which suggest that they are not directly related to the settlement are located immediately to the west. They are recorded as 1001413.
