This (unenclosed) settlement has a small associated field system of about 2.5 ha centred at SX 63089354. It is in very poor condition save for the east to west lynchets which occur on this slight north slope. These are from 0.4 to 1.3m high. The field banks which run down the slope are almost imperceptible but can be seen on the air photographs. They are squarish with sides of approximately 50.0m.
