The National Monuments Service's description
In the central Burren uplands. A field system visible on OSi Aerial Premium (2013-2018) orthophotographs stretching c. 2.2km N-S from Poulnabrucky at NW across Baur North and South to Poulanine at SE. Three wedge tombs, 8 cairns, 5 cashels and well as several enclosures are within this field system. 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.
