It runs for roughly forty metres, curving in a roughly north-easterly direction, connecting what was once a hut site to the bank of a small river below. At only sixty centimetres high and sixty centimetres thick, it is easy to overlook, and in places it has nearly vanished back into the ground. What gives it away, apart from the slight ridge it makes in the terrain, are the large flat slabs set at right angles to the main line of the wall, a construction detail that sometimes indicates the wall was built to last, or at least built with some deliberate technique, rather than simply piled up in haste.

The wall belongs to a category of feature that appears across upland Ireland wherever people once farmed ground that is now given over to rough grazing and bog. Field boundaries like this one are the remnants of agricultural systems that predate the modern landscape, periods when communities worked slopes that would seem impractical to cultivate today. The bog that now surrounds and partially swallows the wall has in some ways preserved it, keeping the lower courses intact even as the upper sections collapsed or disappeared. Its association with a nearby hut site suggests this was once a coherent small settlement, a place where someone lived and maintained at least one enclosure, perhaps for livestock, perhaps for cultivation, on the overlooking ground above the Owroe River valley.
