Rig-and-furrow cultivation (centred on NS 0852 5315) is visible in flattish areas of ground between the volcanic ridge surmounted by the vitrified fort NS05SE 4 and another craggy ridge immediately N. The individual, slightly curving, rigs measure up to 3m in breadth and are orientated roughly NW and SE. Other patches of rig are visible in the vicinity, including one (centred at NS 0851 5318), in which the straight rigs measure up to 3.5 metres in breadth and are aligned N and S. Some of the rig in the area is enclosed by thick banks, which were described by Harding, in his recent reappraisal (2004), as part of the main vitrified Iron Age fort.
