| Name: | Field system within Yardworthy Newtake |

Summary
Fragmentary remains of a field system within Yardworthy Newtake. Only three sections of boulder walling each up to 170m long, 1.2m wide and 0.3m high survive. They form no identifiable pattern although their approximate N-S and E-W orientation coupled with their length suggest that they may once have formed part of a parallel reave system.

(09/03/1990) Centred SX 6750 8450 within Yardworthy Newtake are the fragmentary remains of a field system. The newtake has been subjected to extensive stone clearance and consequently only three sections of boulder walling each up to 170m long, 1.2m wide and 0.3m high survive. They form no identifiable pattern although their approximate N-S and E-W orientation coupled with their length suggest that they may once have formed part of a parallel reave system. Visible on APs (RCHME APP, 1985).
