Full Description

The present field was divided into two and is shown as such on the 1848 tithe apportionment. The west side of the field was known as Foolow croft whilst the east side was known as Mill croft. The dividing wall followed the line of the wall which now continues in the field to the south. There was an earthen bank some 120m long and 1m high along the west field wall with an outer retaining wall and ditch in an adjacent field. A circular feature occurs half way along the west boundary adjacent to the bank. This feature measures 48ft by 62ft. The field is divided into three by means of earthen banks or lynchets. There is also a well in the east portion of the field. (1,2).
