The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a fairly level low-lying landscape. The cropmarks of a rectangular field system defined by ditches and covering an area of about 2 ha (c. 5 acres) is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There are a number of small rectangular plots (dims c. 30m x c. 20m) within a frame of large cropmark drains, and what might be a roadway at its E edge. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
