Within these are the remains of two ponds centred at TF 4462 7649 and TF 4451 7645 and a mound of unknown function centred at TF 4450 7656. Surrounding the tofts and crofts some ridge and furrow survives of the field system that once surrounded the Medieval settlement. This is centred at TF 4455 7652 and TF 4428 7675.
