NT 768 594 to NT 769 596. The remains of a prehistoric field system survive in a narrow strip of ground immediately NW of the improved land on the SE flank of Cockburn Law. The upper limit of the field system is defined by a stony bank which follows the 244m contour over a distance of about 120m; three field divisions run away from it and there are traces of others overlain by the rig-and-furrow cultivation around the settlement described on NT75NE 3.
