It's definitely a fireless loco. The only thing I've seen similar is an 0-4-0 built by Andrew Barclay for Imperial Paper Mills in Gravesend which was featured in Roaming the Southern Rails by P. Ransome-Wallis.

Why the farmer put it in that field I don't know everyone who goes past it in a car looks at it could cause an accident should not be that hard to restore as there is no boiler involved
