They are easy to miss, these low ridges of stone, but what makes them quietly remarkable is their relationship to the landscape around them. The walls do not simply divide ground; they cluster around a multiple-stone circle, a five-stone circle, and a stone alignment, suggesting that whoever farmed this hillside may have done so before those monuments were ever raised.

Two main stretches of relict walling run on either side of a medieval road that once connected Kenmare to Castletownbere, a route still traceable across this part of south-west Kerry. The northern stretch runs about 30 metres and sits only 18 metres from the multiple-stone circle. The southern stretch is longer, at roughly 48 metres, and partway along it a shorter branch wall angles off towards the stone alignment, with the five-stone circle sitting just to its north and east. A 14-metre section of this boundary was excavated in 1981 by Lynch, who found no datable material but tentatively concluded that at least some of the wall segments belong to cultivation phases that predate the alignment and circle. If correct, that would mean farming activity here is older than the prehistoric monuments themselves, which were subsequently built in or near what had been working agricultural land. A third stretch of walling, curving and roughly 180 metres long, was recorded by Lynch in the early 1980s about 30 metres north of the five-stone circle; that area has since been planted over with forestry and is no longer visible.

The surviving walls themselves rise only 10 to 30 centimetres above the bog surface, so they read more as faint linear textures in the hillside than as obvious structures. The blanket bog that now covers this terrace has, in a sense, preserved what it also obscures, holding the field system in place while gradually swallowing it. The medieval road, the stone circles, and the alignment are all recorded in the same immediate area, making this a landscape where several distinct periods of human activity happen to have left traces in close proximity to one another.
