• GA044-058 Field system
  Description

  In undulating grassland. An extensive series of field banks, extending over an area c. 450m NW-SE by c. 300m NE-SW, were brought to light during aerial reconnaissance in July 1970 (CUCAP BDT 84). Though they do not form any coherent pattern, a number of small irregular and curvilinear fields with cultivation ridges were visible. A number of rectangular structures, possibly house sites, were also noted. Three ringforts (GA044-053----, GA044-054----and GA044-058001-) are associated. No visible surface trace survives as the area has since been reclaimed. This field system may originally have extended into the adjoining td., see GA044-056----.
