The National Monuments Service's description
A number of irregular fields associated with a cashel (CL005-123001-). This is part of an extensive field system (CL005-227004-) stretching c. 3km N-S from just E of Corkscrew Hill S as far as Poulnbrone. Field systems with prehistoric and medieval elements extend over most of the Burren uplands. Those currently visible on aerial or satellite imagery are outlined for mapping purposes but it is likely that they continue under scrub and meet in certain areas.
