Visited on 16th November 1994. Field 'c'at SX55867609 measures up to 140 metres by 74 metres and contains at least two hut circles. The field wall is of rubble construction and averages 1.5 metres wide and 0.5 metres high. This field is earlier than Field 'd', but its relationship to the others is unclear. A partition added sometime after the field was constructed bisects it into two fairly even parts.
