The National Monuments Service's description
Two parallel field walls (H 0.2m; Wth 1.1m) running from N to S which are 31m apart and are visible amongst the sand dunes and appears to form part of a larger field system of unknown date. A third field boundary runs W from the N end of the two field walls. The rest of the field system has been covered by the sand but in places where erosion of the sand has occurred the field system is visible. A nearby souterrain (DG015-015-) located immediately to the S of the visible section of the two field walls may be contemporaneous with the field system.
