Full description
Russell recorded fields at the location, which are in the coastal zone between Chypraze cliff and farm (b1). The OS note that the fields are centred at SW 3940 3595 and are best preserved in the Western part of the area where the low field banks and walls of boulders are clearly visible. The age of the fields is uncertain (h1, h2), but may possibly have a origin that dates back to prehistoric times. NB The OS card could not be traced. These fields appear to be part of a larger complex of early enclosures located along the coast on Chypraze and Tregaminion cliffs (see also 29887 and 19888). Earth and stone banks are visible on air photographs (p1-3) and were plotted for the NMP.
