What makes this particular arrangement quietly remarkable is not just its age but what it implies: these walls predate the bog that now covers them. Peat accumulated over and around the stonework after the walls were built, meaning the landscape here was once open, workable ground, farmed by people whose activities left traces that only become visible where the bog has been cut away.

The field system is a branching one. A primary wall runs for roughly 40 metres to the east-north-east before turning south-east, with a secondary branch extending 25 metres to the north-east from a point about 13 metres along. That branch includes a formal entrance, just over a metre wide, defined by two upright stones of almost identical height, one on each side. Beyond the entrance the wall continues northward for a further 35 metres until it meets a modern boundary. The walls also cross a meandering stream at two points, suggesting the system was laid out with some deliberation about drainage or water access. Where the peat has been cut, the lower courses of these walls are found sitting on underlying clay rather than bog, confirming they belong to a period before the landscape was transformed. Within the same network sit a standing stone and two possible fulachtaí fia, which are ancient cooking sites typically consisting of a fire-cracked stone mound beside a water source, suggesting the area saw sustained use across different periods of prehistory.
