Summary
Field system associated with Hentor Warren House, possibly established in the early 19th century. The fields are mainly to the south of the house and cover an area of about 8.0 hectares. They are irregular in shape and of varying construction. Some walls have neat orthostatic faces while others are merely a collection of loose boulders. Generally they are 0.9m wide and 0.8m high. Prehistoric field walls are incorporated into the later walls as well as huts. Two pillow mounds also occur in the fields.
