The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope. An area of c. 1km square S of rath (RO021-098----) has interupted sections of some long field banks (L c. 800m) running NW-SE and placed c. 100m apart. Some smaller rectangular fields (dims c. 100m x c. 50m) are traceable. Although the fields are not recorded on any map and they are on a different alignment to current fields, which are predominantly N-S or NE-SW, these fields are likely to be early modern in date.
