On the date of visit no trace of any pens were found on the southern edge of Murray Park, but there are the remains of rig-and-furrow cultivation in the form of a narrow E to W strip (NJ 5738 1663 to 5750 1663), in which the rigs are aligned N and S and measure about 7m in breadth. The ground to the N of these rigs falls quickly to what was once boggy ground, and the surviving rigs therefore probably represent the truncated remains of a larger plot which originally extended into the improved field to the S.
Visited by RCAHMS (JRS), 25 October 1996.
