(15/11/1993) Centred SX 66267513. A small ovoid enclosure and three short field walls on relatively flat ground 200m south of Laughter Hole House. The enclosure measures 45m north-west to south-east by 22m and is bounded by stoney banks about 1.4m wide and up to 0.5m high. The walls adjoining this enclosure become indistinct after 20m though a short length of similar walling runs between SX 66147540 and SX 66157543 some 180m to the south west. There is no trace of an associated settlement.
These features are apparently part of a larger field system which has been effeced by medieval and later improvement.
