The National Monuments Service's description

In grassland to N and W of tower house (TS053-035001-) are a series of low earthworks defining several large rectangular fields which are depicted on first ed. OS 6-inch map but not on latest ed. OS 6-inch maps. Aerial photographs taken in 1967 show up these levelled field boundaries to N and W of tower house (CUCAP ATA 62). These are the remains of the field boundaries indicated on 1838 ed. OS 6-inch maps and do not appear to be medieval in date, possibly 18th century field enclosures which were removed between 1838 and 1953-54. This was classified in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1997) as an 'Field system possible'. Following field inspection this was found to be post-1700 in date. It remains classified as 'Field system' but is not included in the current remit of the ASI.
