NC73NE 3 790 387.

Centred on NC 790 387, in the middle reaches of an expansive SW-facing hillside, is a minor field system of a type usually associated with hut-circle cultivation. It is about two and a half hectares in area and is denoted by heaps of stone clearance spaced on average 15-25.0m apart; no plots are discernible. Within the system are footings of four shielings, the largest 6.0m by 2.5m, and obscure traces of one or two more.
