The National Monuments Service's description
The remains of a curvilinear drystone field wall can be seen enclosing the drystone walled enclosure (DG015-040001-) from S through W to N. This curving field wall appears to be part of a field system contemporaneous with the enclosure. The enclosure and field system are situated on flat pasture on the W facing slope of rising land in upland area with a hilltop cashel (DG015-011-) located 130m to the E.
