Full description
Newman, P., 2001, Headland Warren Part 2: Medieval Settlement and Enclosures, 7, Figure 2-3 (Report - Survey). SDV360131.
On the steep west flank of the West Webburn valley are a number of linear features which run along the contours and may be attributed to Medieval agricultural activity. Fragments of lynchets may be traced as well as a group of field boundaries which demonstrate the existance of 3-4 fields. The boundaries have a serpentine appearance which suggest cultivation although there is no evidence of ridge and furrow.

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.
