Monument Number 50771
Hob Uid: 50771
Location : North Yorkshire Harrogate Laverton
Grid Ref : SE1790073300
Summary : Iron Age field system surviving as earthworks and boulders
More information : SE 179733. Series of stone enclosures similar to Iron Age fields. (1) Centred at SE 179733 on a gentle NE facing slope are the remains of an Iron Age field system consisting of mainly large irregular-shaped fields defined by lynchets. Set on top of the lynchets are large boulders forming walling which really marks the system, as the fields, covered by deep heather, are barely discernible. No clearance heaps are visible (all the stones probably going into the lynchets) or hut-circles. Almost certainly contemporary with the earthworks (SE 17 SE 2) to the immediate south. (Delineated on 1:10 560 Record Sheet) (2)
