The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a rocky SW-facing slope. The remains of two stretches of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.45m) extend in a general N-S direction as they protrude above the surface of the bog. Both walls are c. 70m in length and are located c. 40m apart. Many stones are set at right angles to the line of the mainly curvilinear walls. Occasionally the stones run into deeper bog. A hut site (CO115-087001-) abuts the E side of the northernmost wall.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
