The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope. An area of c. 13 ha contains a series of low grass-covered banks, scarps or stone spreads creating an irregular field pattern, but at the N end rectangular fields (dims. c. 100m x c. 50m) predominate. The enclosure (RO006-080----) and cashel (RO006-083004-) are within the field system, and Templenadriney church (RO006-083001-), souterrain (RO006-083005-) and holy well (RO006-083003-) are at its SW edge.
