The National Monuments Service's description
An extensive ancient field system covers much of the townland of the Burren and has been surveyed as extending beyond it into the adjoining townlands of Legalough, Manragh Upper and Tawnymakelly. The system includes within it a wide range of monument types including megalithic tombs, rock-art, cup-marked stones, hut-sites and enclosures (pers. comm. G. Burns and J. Nolan).
