The boundary is modest in every measurable sense, roughly 0.7 metres thick and only half a metre high, yet its alignment and construction mark it out as something older than the modern fencing that now terminates its eastern end. This is not a wall anyone built recently, or with any intention of it being admired.

The boundary is classed as a relict field system, meaning it belonged to an earlier agricultural landscape that was subsequently abandoned and absorbed into rough upland grazing. From its starting point, it runs approximately 25 metres in an east-north-easterly direction before turning and continuing roughly eastward for a further 28 metres. What makes the initial stretch particularly legible, despite the bog cover, is the way some of the base stones protrude through the surface, several of them set upright and at right angles to the wall's line, a construction technique that suggests deliberate coursing rather than simple clearance dumping. Notably, the wall begins around 20 metres north-west of a fulacht fia, a type of prehistoric cooking site typically identified by a mound of fire-cracked stone beside a former water source or trough. The proximity of a field boundary to a fulacht fia does not in itself prove they are contemporary, but both features speak to a period when this now-marginal bogland was actively used and managed by people whose domestic and agricultural traces have largely disappeared beneath the peat.
