The site is noted simply as an old field system, a category that, while modest-sounding, can represent centuries of agricultural labour pressed into the landscape in the form of stone walls, earthen banks, or ridge-and-furrow patterns marking out where people once divided the land and worked it.

The sole published reference to this site appears in the Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, compiled by Judith Cuppage and published in 1986, where it receives entry number 1150 and a description of just three words: old field system. No dimensions are given, no period is assigned, and no further details accompany it. Field systems of this kind on the Dingle Peninsula can range considerably in age, from early medieval enclosures associated with farmsteads to post-medieval divisions reflecting the reorganisation of land under later landlord arrangements. Without additional survey work at this particular site, it is impossible to say which tradition it belongs to, or whether its boundaries are still legible on the ground at all. That ambiguity is itself part of what makes it quietly interesting: a place acknowledged by archaeology but not yet fully explained by it.
