The walls are low, roughly 0.6 metres high and 0.7 metres thick, and they run intermittently across an area measuring some 300 metres on its longer axis. From the ground, no clear pattern emerges, which is part of what makes the site quietly unsettling. The bog has absorbed most of what was once a working landscape, leaving only fragments.

What survives suggests a settlement of some complexity. Within this network of field boundaries there are three hut sites and two enclosures, all set within rough hill pasture on unenclosed commonage. Drystone construction, built without mortar using locally gathered stone, was the common method for field boundaries and shelters throughout upland Ireland for centuries, and such walls could belong to any number of periods. The bog itself is the complicating factor: peat accumulation buries and preserves structures over time, meaning the walls visible today may represent only a fraction of what was once laid out across this hillside. The fact that no definite pattern could be read from ground level leaves open questions about how the huts, enclosures, and boundaries related to one another, and who organised this ground and when.
