Antiquarian notes compiled by the Rev. E.B. Savage record 'traces of rude huts' on the slopes of the Carnanes, overlooking Fleshwick.  No further information is provided, and no features corresponding to the description have been located. 


Aerial photography shows that the entire west and south-west facing slope south of the southerly summit of the Carnanes ridge was formerly divided into a field system comprising plots ranging in size from about 1.5 to 5 acres, the boundaries of which are still faintly traceable on the ground.  The fields appear to have fallen out of use prior to the tithe and rating surveys of the 1840s and 1860s, and the Ordnance Survey of 1870, as they do not feature on any of the maps produced at that time.
