In pasture, on S-sloping reclaimed bog with views S to Canuig Mountain. Herity (1970a, 8, 11-14) recorded 'field walls partially exposed by fairly recent turf cutting three hundred yards [274m] east of tomb [wedge tomb (KE097-021----)]'. These possible field boundaries are not visible at ground level.
