The National Monuments Service's description
Remains of several field walls meandering across the the S face of rising ground in upland area which appear to be contemporaneous with hilltop cashel (DG015-011-). The field walls appear to run onto and repsect this hilltop cashel. The field walls are constructed with low upright orthostats forming a double wall with an inner and outer facing or revetment. These walls mainly run from E to W across the S facing slope of rising ground. To the SE of the cashel there are two field walls running parallel to each other which appear to form a roadway running E-W across the S face of the hill. On this S facing hill the field walls appear to form several D-shaped fields.
