Description
Extensive upland earthworks of deserted rural settlement and field systems, comprising;

1. at NGR, pair of rectangular contiguous earthworks, presumably former stone building foundations now grassed over.
2. At SH 6501 3734 to the south-west, a single low earthwork of a rectangular long house, possibly with a door along the north-west side.
3. Between the two, a well-preserved system of field terraces and ridge and furrow, apparently unimproved in recent decades. This field system includes the apparent remains of a prehistoric hutgroup (NPRN 403912 ) a little to the south-east at SH 6509 3743.

Discovered during RCAHMW aerial reconnaissance on 24th January 2005.
