The National Monuments Service's description
A field system (c. 500m NE-SW; c. 140m E-W) in Coolnatullagh Valley comprised of mound walls within which lie three cairns (CL006-044----, excavated (Eogan 2002), CL006-045001-, CL006-045002-) and an enclosure (CL006-146----). Some of the fields are linear and some are irregular. This field system lies within a much larger system that extends essentially from Gortaclare to Slievecarran.
