Fifty-eight metres long in total, it runs on a northeast-to-southwest axis, standing barely 0.4 metres high and around 0.7 metres thick; modest dimensions that speak less to grandeur than to the everyday labour of someone trying to make something useful out of rough hill pasture.

The wall survives in two sections, a longer northeastern stretch of 34 metres and a shorter southwestern one of 12 metres, separated by a gap of the same length. That break may be original, the result of later disturbance, or simply where the bog has consumed the intervening stonework entirely. What makes the site quietly telling is the presence of a hut site abutting the southeastern side of the wall's northeastern section, roughly 12 metres from its end. Field boundaries and habitation appearing together like this are not unusual in upland archaeological contexts across Ireland, where seasonal or semi-permanent settlement, sometimes associated with the old practice of transhumance or summer grazing on higher ground, left clusters of low walls and simple shelters that the peat has preserved, partially and imperfectly, ever since.
