The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the N-facing slope of a ridge surrounded to the N and S by bog. The field system is densely overgrown with furze and ferns. The enclosing elements consist of low stone and earth and stone walls. Remnants of lazy beds are visible in some clearings in the vegetation. The field system is possibly of 18th- or 19th-century date. An enclosure (KE093-037001-) is immediately to the N.
