The excavations, documented by Cleary in 1981, revealed a ridge and furrow system, the raised and lowered corrugations left by repeated ploughing in strips, that had been organised at least twice over. An earlier arrangement of east to west ridges was cut across by a later north to south system, suggesting that at some point the land was reorganised, the plots reallocated and the direction of working shifted. The boundaries between plots were modest structures: shallow ditches no deeper than half a metre, accompanied by low earthen banks of roughly the same height. There is something quietly telling about that modesty. These were not monumental enclosures but the working infrastructure of ordinary farming life, the kind of feature that rarely survives unless, as here, it happens to lie directly in the path of a pipeline survey.
