There are traces of a field system on the gentle slopes to the NE of Huntfold Hill fort, comprising rectilinear field boundaries and extending over at least 2ha. On the steeper slopes to the SW there are traces of further curvilinear field banks.
Recent aerial photographs show possible cord rig on the same alignment as the field boundaries.
