Summary

Survives as low rubble banks standing up to 2m wide and 0.4m high which are lynchetted in places. Around a dozen discrete fields are visible although more may have once survived. The full extent of the field system is not known because of peat accumulation which has masked some of the detail and resulted in the edges being obscured.

(04/02/1998) Irregular aggregate field system 320m NE of Rival Tor.
Survives as low rubble banks standing up to 2m wide and 0.4m high which are lynchetted in places. Around a dozen discrete fields are visible although more may have once survived. The full extent of the field system is not known because of peat accumulation which has masked some of the detail and resulted in the edges being obscured.

Environment Agency WMS, 2019, LiDAR DSM data (1m resolution), 2019 (Cartographic). SDV362957.

The southern part of the field system can be seen relatively clearly and matches Gerrard's plan; the north-western part could not be plotted with any accuracy; polygons may need updating.
