Summary
The fragmentary remains of an abandoned field system, lie beyond the present newtake near the moorgate in an area centred SX52758174. The redundant field walls, probably post-medieval origin, are of stone and earth and stand to a height of 1.1m. A large openwork cuts through the south part of the area (SX 58 SW 165). The fields are not depicted in 1882 (0S 1:10000 1882) as they were probably redundant then. Surveyed as part of the RCHME Willsworthy project.
