The National Monuments Service's description

Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) and classified 'Field Wall' in both. Located in undulating pasture on a limestone plateau. An earlier report (NMI 1948) recorded an old field wall, composed of large boulders, which had no connection with the modern field system. This has apparently since been removed. This is no indication that the field walls are of any great antiquity.
