The National Monuments Service's description
Immediately to the SE and S of a motte and bailey (LF014-050001-) and castle (LF014-050002), and c. 140m to the SW of a possible bawn (LF014-050003-). This possible field system of unknown date consists of two rows of four small fields orientated NW-SE. It is visible as low degraded earthworks on aerial photographs (SMR file). Ridge and furrow cultivation is visible within the fields.
