Site visit July 1984. Field 799 and all those surrounding it contain evidence of former clay workings. Ponds representing clay pits, larger quarries and spoil heaps, now grassed over or covered by scrub. At SX86427317 are two short stretches of stone wall at right angles to each other which are possibly the remains of a building or field wall.
