The National Monuments Service's description
On the lower N-facing slope of Beenduff. Three field walls were recorded here by Desmond (1999). The exposed stretches vary in length from 10m to over 75m. The walls mainly survive as low banks with some peat covering. Two other relict walls, c. 10m to the SE, are of drystone construction and lie parallel to each other. Other stretches of field walls branch off from these walls. (Desmond 1999)
