The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-covered hill pasture in cutaway bog, on the lower N-facing slopes of the East Pap of Dana. Both linear and curvilinear stretches of collapsed, stone field walls (T 0.8m; H 0.5m) protrude intermittently from the remaining shallow bog, in a large irregularly shaped area (c. 2km NE-SW; c. 650m NW-SE). There are three hut sites (KE068-126002-, KE068-126003-, KE068-126004-), an enclosure (KE068-126005-) and a standing stone (KE068-126006-) within this field wall network. (Coyne 2000)
