Details of field system on Pastscape

(Centred ST 954175) A group of lyncheted fields in Rushmore Park, surveyed by Toms between 1912 and 1924. He believes them to predate the Bronze Age barrows (ST 91 NE 3) and the Late Bronze Age pastoral enclosure at South Lodge (ST 91 NE 9). Crawford, however, considers that the lynchets cannot be older than the earthworks. The lynchets are clearly visible on the western slopes, and near the South Lodge they follow the contours.
