The National Monuments Service's description
On the N-facing side of Prospect Hill, immediately E of the pre-bog field system (LI018-01107-) recorded by Doody (1992; 1993). The sod-covered remains of a collapsed stone wall (Wth c. 0.9m; H c. 0.3m) extends c. 94m W from a recent N-S field boundary, with a gap of c. 8m between the two. Adjacent to the E end of the wall is a collection of stones which are probably the remains of a field-clearance cairn. There is now no surface trace of this field boundary in a field of reclaimed pasture.
