Stone and earth boundaries enclosing 3 conjoined fields survive within the east part of the streamwork. These overlie all the streamworking earthworks except one 145 metre long channel. The character of surviving streamwork earthworks in each field suggests that land use in each may have been different. Earthworks are more abraded in field 1 than in field 2, where no attempt appears to have been made to level or interfere with the streamwork. In field 3, earthworks survive well in some places, but other areas have clearly been levelled. Other details: Figure 5.
