The National Monuments Service's description
In the central Burren uplands. A field system visible on OSi Aerial Premium (2013-2018) orthophotographs stretching c. 3km N-S from just E of Corkscrew Hill S as far as Poulnbrone. Five wedge tombs, a portal tomb, several cairns, cashels, enclosures and hut sites are among the monuments within this area. 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.
