NH64NW 20 centred 622 495.
Centred at NH 622 495 on a generally NE-facing slope is a field system defined by stone clearance heaps and an occasional lynchet and field wall. It is partly denueded by 19th c. cultivation which is now overgrown with gorse and broom as is the remainder of the area and measurements of plots could not be ascertained. It is separated from a settlement of six hut circles (NH64NW 18) to the N by a marshy valley but it is probably contemporary.
Visited by OS (A A) 11 January 1970.
