The National Monuments Service's description
This wall is made up of random field stones and is c 18m in length (max W 0.8m ; H 0.4m). A relict field boundary, not pre-bog in origin. In the area a thin peaty soil cover up to 0.1m in depth overlay a stony mineralised subsoil exposed in places. The orientation of this boundary wall is NNE-SSW. It appears to be a partial continuation of the field boundary to the west of the standing stone (CO092-048----) to the southeast.
