Aerial photography reveals the full geometry of it: a linear field system of north-south and east-west fences laid out on a roughly level plateau, with a circular enclosure to the northwest and a deserted farmhouse to the southeast. The fences themselves have been swallowed by vegetation and cannot be traced by anyone walking the land, yet from above the pattern is clear enough to read as a coherent agricultural landscape.

What makes this system particularly interesting is the relationship between its boundaries and the modern townland boundary of Inchileigh. One of the field fences appears to run across that boundary in both directions, suggesting it predates the administrative division of the land, which would place at least part of this system in an earlier phase of occupation and land management. At the western edge of the complex, a double fence running north to south for roughly 130 metres has been interpreted as a possible old laneway, the kind of enclosed track used to move livestock between fields without letting them stray into cultivated ground. The area is also strewn with loose rock, which may partly explain why the land was eventually abandoned rather than continuously farmed; the deserted farmhouse nearby hints at a long withdrawal from what was likely always marginal agricultural ground.
