The National Monuments Service's description
Within a coniferous plantation. To W ground falls away into the Easkey River valley. There is another field boundary (SL017-076----) c. 150m to E and a portal tomb (SL017-040----) c. 130m to NE. This record was listed in the RMP (1995) as ‘field wall –pre-bog’: the source of this record is unknown and there is no field report from the 1990’s on file. In the RMP (1995) the location was recorded as IG 140100 330680 (equating with ITM 540064 830687), placing it approximately 20m S of an E-W road. The area was inspected in 2014. No trace of the field wall was found at the location of the RMP (1995) co-ordinates. The density of the trees and forest litter made a more wide-ranging inspection impossible. It is likely that the wall was damaged by forestry works; its exact location remains unknown.
