Scarlett Field System
Archaeology
Traces of a relict field system of possible prehistoric or early medieval date have been noted here. When recorded the land was cultivated and quite flat. Further fragments of the same field system were reported along the cliff edge to the south and south-east and back towards Scarlett Point. All these fragments lie outside the stone walls which belong to a phase of enclosure of circa 1870. The relict features only exist on the rough ground of the headland and in the one field containing the 'site of Keeill Scarlett Burial Ground.
