The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing on blanket bog, on a SE-facing slope of Miskish Mountain. A relict stone field boundary (T 0.65m; H 0.6m) abuts a modern field fence at the SW and extends (L c. 30m) in a general NE-E direction. It then turns to an E-SE direction for a further distance of c. 40m where it disappears. The height of the relict wall varies with the depth of bog. Some gaps (Wth c. 1-4m) occur along the stretch. Many of the stones are set at right angles to the line of the wall. There is a standing stone (CO115-120----) situated c. 30m to the S.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
