Details An extensive field system which is delimited by lynchets, field banks and stone clearance heaps lies on the lower slopes of Wether Hill, to the east of Sunnyside Farm. There are the remains of two hut circles, one at NJ5688 5315, 11m diameter, 0.20m high and other 10m diameter by 0.1m high. Stone clearance heaps 7m in diameter and 0.5m high, are scattered across the area. ONB describe tumuli in this area in which urns and human remains were found. The area is now covered extensively in gorse, making it difficult to distiguish many features. The hut circles are now reduced and difficult to see.
