This field system contains lazy bed cultivation and is defined by a ruinous rubble wall that is overlain by two of the three cleits. Four rock shelters are situated amongst the boulder scree along its W edge. The wreckage of a Sunderland flying boat ML858, which crashed on 7 June 1944, is strewn amongst the boulder scree, in particular on the S immediately outwith the field system (see NF09NE 204).
