The National Monuments Service's description
On flat pasture bordering the townlands of Castlelloyd and Garryduff. The field system is located around the enclosures (LI024-211/-212----). The field system is not depicted on the OSi 1840 ed. 6-inch map nor is it depicted on the 1897 ed. 25-inch map. It is visible on the OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified as a relic field system by the Bruff aerial photographic survey (Bruff 20.5; AP 4/3621). The field system consists of 4 parallel field boundaries orientated NE-SW (ext. dims. 250m N-S; 200m E-W). There is evidence for spade cultivation contemporary with the fields at the S end of the plot. It is visible on Digital Google Earth orthoimage taken 18/11/2018.
