The National Monuments Service's description

This is an extensive field system characterised by low earth and stone banks with or without associated fosses. The field system traverses an area of undulating limestone pasture with no definite preference with regards to orientation or relief. Two house sites (SL033-060002; SL033-060004-) and a pentagonal field (SL033-060001-) are at the NW corner. This is part of a larger field system (SL033-070----).
