(Visited 9/5/2002) Post medieval field wall 710 metres south-west of Laughter Hole Farm. A post medieval field wall cuts across the hut circle settlement (MDV6020) and field system and some of the stone used in its construction has probably been derived from the prehistoric settlement. The wall is of coursed drystone construction and measures up to 1.5m high and 0.5m wide.
