The National Monuments Service's description
Surrounding a tower house (GA095-028----). Aerial reconnaissance in 1964 (CUCAP AJU 14) revealed a number of collapsed stone walls, covering an area of c. 260m by c. 230m, which formed several rectangular enclosures. Possibly a series of fields associated with the tower house. On inspection in August 1982 the area was inaccessible due to dense overgrowth.
