The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the Carran plateau, immediately W of Carran village. A field system associated with an enclosure (CL010-230----) immediately to the NW (Jones et al. 2011, 46, fig.4, SE of Enclosure 2). The field walls have varying morphologies. Some are mound walls, others are similar to the walls of the enclosure with large facing slabs, and others are composed of large slabs placed on edge, but stacked against each other. (Jones et al. 2011, 45)
