The National Monuments Service's description

Aerial photograph (CUCAP AVM 7) shows the cropmarks of a small field system, possibly connected with a church (KD037-037002-) and Children's burial ground (KD037-037003-) described by Fitzgerald (1906-08, 120-1) as being located in this area. Two other small field systems (KD037-035---- and KD037-036----) and a circular enclosure (KD037-034----) occur in the immediate vicinity. These features are also visible on a later (1989) aerial photo.
