| Name: | Field system south of Lettaford Cross |

Summary
Field system visible on fairly level ground (with a moderate dip eastwards) on moorland and rough pasture south-east of the road between Leapra Cross and Lettaford Cross. There is ridge and furrow visible in the south part of the system. The east part of the system is walled, and yet clearly has associations with the western part: it has been treated cartographically as a fossilized system, although it does not derive clearly from a parallel reave system.

Field system visible on fairly level ground (with a moderate dip eastwards) on moorland and rough pasture south-east of the road between Leapra Cross and Lettaford Cross. There is ridge and furrow visible in the south part of the system (this is extensive to the south and south-west of Puddaven Farm). The east part of the system is walled, and yet clearly has associations with the western part: it has been treated cartographically as a fossilized system, although it does not derive clearly from a parallel reave system.
