The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of scrubland and rock outcrop with reclaimed land to W and N. An old field wall (L c. 30m), running roughly NNE-SSW, is defined by a single line of large boulders set on edge and regularly spaced c. 1.2m apart. Towards its NNE end a D-shaped field (c. 26m by 11m) defined by a grassed-over stony bank with occasional large boulders set on edge, similar to the field wall, was also noted.
