The remains of a field system have been recorded on the Knowe of Blairnain, a hillock situated to the north-west of Meikle Conval. In 1971, the Ordnance Survey recorded the remains of a network of field plots, measuring about 15m by 10m. These were largely defined by stone clearance heaps and lynchets, which is the term used to describe the slight scarp found at the limits of ploughing. In other places, there were traces of earthen field banks.
Toward the eastern edges of the fields there are four stone-walled hut circles, which range from about 9.5m to around 13.7m in diameter.
