Details Remains of rigs covering an area of circa 16.5 ha. They are well preserved narrow rigs, with a wavelength of circa 4.8 m. At the break of slope is a scooped feature 5 m east-west by 3 m north-south dug into the slope with spoil bank downslope - possibly a quarry pit. To the east the land has been improved circa 1979, but rigs can still be detected in the field as cropmarks (NJ83NW0063). Large recent field clearance heap to east of Craig presumably containing stones from improved area.
