The hill, marked as Red Hill on Ordnance Survey maps from 1913, carries the traces of a relict field system whose walls no longer divide land in any practical sense but have not quite disappeared either. In places they survive as low, sod-covered stone banks, between 1.2 and 2 metres wide and up to half a metre high; in others they have subsided into broken lines of individual stones, following the natural contours and terraces of the hillside as if the original farmers were working with the land rather than against it.

The walls appear to have enclosed subrectangular and irregularly shaped fields on the level terraces, a layout that suggests careful use of whatever flat ground the hillside offered. Some of these relict walls were already old enough to record when the first detailed Ordnance Survey mapping of the area was carried out in 1837, and they appear again on the 1913 revision, even as the modern grid of property divisions was already overlying them. The picture they form is fragmentary rather than complete; the surviving wall sections cannot be confidently connected into a single coherent pattern, and it is not possible to say whether all the isolated fragments belong to the same period of use. What makes the hill particularly layered is the company those walls keep. Scattered across the same ground are a court tomb, a monument type associated with Neolithic communities, several enclosures, a number of hut sites, and the remains of a church with an associated graveyard. The accumulation of monuments across different periods suggests this hillside was not simply farmed at one moment in time but returned to, settled in, and marked by people across a very long span.
