OS 25" map (1973)
When visited in 1971, this was described as a field system consisting of clearance cairns, as described by the RCAHMS, and small stretches of lynchets (which they do not note). The turf-and-stone field boundary mentioned by the RCAHMS is relatively modern, similar to others in the area.
Visited by OS (DWR) 29 July 1971
