Ridge and furrow in the south broken by a number of hollows. Two rectangular ones are 25 x 10 x 1m deep. A linear hollows run down the east side. A hollow trackway crosses the north side of the area, branching south along the road. Indistinct banks and an undulating surface marks the field north of the hollow track. Massive hollow runs alongside the main road. It is 5m deep and 25m across. It may have been a quarry, but also appears to have been used as a pond.
