The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S-facing slope and on the flat ground at the bottom of the slope. An area of c. 25 ha contained field banks visible on aerial photographs (ACAP: V206/45, 58), although no pattern can be discerned. Some long interrupted sections of field banks running generally E-W and placed c. 200m apart can distinguished, and a roadway (RO022-012001-) (L c. 300m) aligned NNW-SSE. Rath (RO022-013----) is within the field system. This land is reclaimed pasture, and there are no features visible at ground level.
