The National Monuments Service's description
An extensive field system (c. 3.5km NW-SE) visible on OS Aerial Premium (2012-2018) stretching from Gragan West at N to Croagh South at S. The N half, just 500m W of Corkscrew Hill, is narrow (c. 360m E-W) and occupies a shelf on the E slopes of Faunarooska. The SE extent on lower ground widens to c. 1km. Many cairns, fulachtaí fia, cashels, enclosures and hut sites lie within.
