The network covers a roughly rectangular area of around 190 metres east to west and 90 metres north to south, and what makes it quietly odd is how the walls were built: upright stone slabs planted at irregular intervals, with smaller stones packed between them. That combination of tall uprights and infill rubble is a technique particularly associated with Clear Island, and it gives these boundaries a distinctive, slightly skeletal character.

What survives today is only a partial picture. The walls still standing reach no more than about half a metre in height, and stretches of the network have been reduced to low earthen banks, stripped of their stone at some point in the past. The likeliest explanation is a practical one: the smaller infill stones were robbed out and reused to construct the more recent, more regular field enclosures visible to the east. The uprights, harder to shift and perhaps harder to repurpose, were left in place. Scattered through this same area is a cross-inscribed stone, a slab bearing an incised cross of uncertain age, which suggests the ground here has carried some kind of significance across more than one period of human use.

The relict boundaries sit in undulating, rough pasture with occasional outcrops of bare rock breaking through the heather. The upright-slab walling technique visible here, once you know to look for it, turns out to be a recurring feature across Clear Island as a whole, making this particular network part of a broader, island-wide tradition rather than an isolated curiosity.
