Field system visible on 1946 aerial photograph, consisting of reaves or banks on a north-west by south-east alignment, possibly deriving from a former parallel reave system. There are walled fields on a similar alignment in the same area, but these have not been shown cartographically since they show no positive indications of being a fossilized reave system. There are four banks visible on rough moorland surrounded by modern farmland.
