This field system recorded from aerial photos at SX 7140 7160 lies on the edge of modern farmland which was in use in 1946 and was becoming increasingly redundant in 1977. The field boundaries are walled, but banked field boundaries extend into what is now moorland. These boundaries may or may not be directly associated, but they do not appear to form a parallel reave system. There are fragments of boundaries within fields mapped at 1:10,560 by the Ordnance Survey at SX 7062 7161. The system extends from SX 7098 7150 to SX 7000 7200 where it leaves the map.
Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DTM 2022 - 1m (Cartographic). SDV365447.
The part of the system preserved in the extant fields clear, but the fragments on the open moorland indistinct at best; most are indistinguishable.
