The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on the lower S-facing slopes of Aghatubride Mountain. There is no visible surface trace of the relict field walls previously recorded at this location. The field in which they were situated has since been reclaimed. According to the SMR file for this record, one field wall crossed through the centre of a nearby hut site (KE088-055----) and extended to the S of the hut site. It then curved to the SE and passed to the S of another hut site (KE088-055001-). A smaller field wall extended to the E. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 396, no. 1188)
