Full description
Newman , P., 2001, Headland Warren Part 2: Medieval Settlement and Enclosures, 6 & 9, Figure 2-3 (Report - Survey). SDV360131.
Two adjoining Medieval field boundaries shown to the south of Birch Tor in Headland Warren. Evidence of hedgebanks which delineate what may have been a system of outfields. The slight and incomplete nature of these suggest this was an unfinished or short-lived phase of enclosure. An almost straight bank and ditch runs up the south side of Birch Tor towards the summit. The bank fades away near the southern outcrop of the tor but reappears near the Prehistoric barrow at the northern end of the plateau.

During the Medieval period much of Headland Warren was enclosed by a series of fields many of which would have been associated with the farmstead at NGR SX 68488076. The farmstead includes at least two longhouses and associated enclosures.
