The National Monuments Service's description
Two disused field walls possibly associated with a nearby Wedge-tomb (114). Wall A runs from a modern field wall beside the tomb for a distance of 54m eastwards. It fades out short of a sea inlet to the E. The wall seems to have been composed of two lines of slabs closely set giving an overall thickness of from .4m to .6m. Wall B is marked on the OS 3rd edition. It runs WSW from the tomb (114). This is mainly a modern wall but the most easterly 25m incorporates some slabs set in a similar fashion to wall A.
See also Knockfola (1424).
