The National Monuments Service's description

On the N side of Prospect Hill. Discovered during the excavation of a short cist (LI018-01102-) in September 1989; it was found 5m NE of the cist (Doody 1992, 220; Doody 1993, fig. 3). A short section of collapsed stone wall (Wth c. 3m) was revealed beneath a covering of peat. This ran in a NW-SE direction, 38m SW of, and running parallel to, another stretch of peat-covered walling (LI018-01107-). There is now no surface trace of this field boundary in a field of reclaimed pasture.
