The walls do not announce themselves dramatically; they survive mainly as low earthen banks, some exposed, some softened beneath a covering of bog, stretching in places for over 75 metres across the hillside.

Three walls were recorded here by Desmond in 1999, varying in exposed length from around 10 metres to more than 75 metres. A short distance to the south-east, roughly 10 metres away, two further relict walls survive in drystone construction, a technique in which stones are laid without mortar, relying entirely on careful placement and weight for stability. These two walls run parallel to one another, and additional stretches branch off from them, suggesting that what remains is a fragment of a once more extensive field system. The peat covering much of the site is both the reason the walls are so easy to overlook and the reason they have survived at all; bogland is a remarkable preservative, slowing the decay that would otherwise reduce such structures to nothing over centuries.
