Field clearance heaps.
Visited by OS (W D J) 21 June 1963.
At NC 595 082, on a low moorland ridge bounded by marshy ground, is a small field system extending for four hectares. It is comprised mainly of scattered stone clearance heaps and the occasional stony lynchet, with indeterminate areas of stone-free cultivation. Only where the clearance heaps are closer together can two or three measurable plots be identified; one is rectangular 40.0m by 15.0m. No hut circles can be located within the system (but see NC50NE 50 and NC50NE 67 nearby).
