The National Monuments Service's description
On top of Moydow Hill. An area of about 6.5 acres (c. 2.5 ha) contains straight sections of grass-covered stone spreads (Wth c. 3m; H 0.2-0.3m) forming walls (L c. 100-130m) which create parallel strips (Wth c. 30-50m) radiating generally from the top of the hill. One NE-SW field wall overlies the interior of hilltop enclosure (RO042-017001-).
