Earthworks noted in field opposite West Fingle Farmhouse. They are well-defined but have no regular pattern. No structures are shown in the field on the 1840 Tithe Map or 1886 Ordnance Survey map, although a track passes on the west side of the field. The earthworks may, therefore, represent an earlier complex of features or be mounds of waste material. Possibly related to the farm or cottage. Other details: No 1297.
