The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, in cutaway bog, with a view over Berehaven Harbour, Bere Island and the surrounding mountain landscape. Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of relict stone field boundaries (T 0.5m; H 0.4m) in a general N-S direction on both sides of a cairn (CO115-091001-). These field boundaries cover an area measuring c. 120m N-S x c. 30m E-W. Many stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall.
