The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock in an undulating landscape. An area of about 21 acres (c. 8.5 ha) contains relict field walls consisting of the bases of drystone walls and forming irregular small fields (dims c. 20m x c. 10m) with larger irregular fields (dims c. 80m x c. 20m). No house sites or lazy beds were identified, and it is probably post-medieval in date.
