The National Monuments Service's description
Located towards the top of a gentle NE-facing slope. At least three fields (dims. c. 50m x c. 40m to c. 100m x c. 75m) were identified in remote sensing attached to the N and E of the ecclesiastical enclosure (WX021-022002-) at the possible church site (WX021-022001-). The fields are defined by single ditches and post-date the enclosure. (Ó Drisceoil 2009, 29-30)
