The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope. An area of about 16 acres (c. 6.5 ha) contains a field system defined by low banks or scarps. It consists of large rectangular fields (dims c. 200m x c. 100m) and incorporates rath (RO035-015001-), altering its shape into a subrectangular form. Although the fields are not recorded on any map they are not likely to be ancient.
