The National Monuments Service's description
This relict field boundary was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on the 10th of December 2014. He describes it as follows: "A relict field boundary running north- south for c. 30m across a level terrace of ground c. 100m west of a stream. It is in a drier area of otherwise boggy, rough grazing. It is c. 0.5m wide with a maximum height of 0.6m with the single line of stones rising from beneath the turf. To the north it abuts a rock face and to the south it ends at the edge of a drop down to another level area.''
