The National Monuments Service's description

This monument was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 4 September 2013. He describes it as follows:
"A section of collapsed relict field boundary within an area of bog and rough grazing on a south facing hillside. It is not far from the summit of Conigar and to the east of Lough Narman.
The field boundary is c. 30m in length, runs northwest-southeast and is c. 1.5m in width and up too 0.4m in height. It is well made with a double line of large rocks. It is sited at the top of an area of rough grazing before the terrain becomes very broken and craggy."
