Walls protrude from the bog at intervals, overgrown and collapsed, tracing the boundaries of fields that once organised this terrain into something deliberate and lived-in. The system stretches roughly 1.1 kilometres from east to west and 800 metres from north to south, a scale that suggests not a single farmstead but a whole community's worth of agricultural organisation.

The walls themselves are built mainly from upright slabs set at right angles to the wall line, with boulders, smaller rubble, and angular stones filling out the construction. Where outcrops of bedrock interrupted the builders, they incorporated the living rock into the fabric of the walls rather than work around it. Recorded by Harte in 2002, the system contains eight confirmed hut sites and one possible hut site, the stone footprints of dwellings distributed across fields of varying shapes and sizes. Immediately to the north, two further features give the site an additional layer of significance: a cross-inscribed stone and a mass-rock. A mass-rock is a flat outdoor stone used as a makeshift altar during the Penal era in Ireland, when Catholic worship was suppressed and priests celebrated Mass in remote locations away from official scrutiny. Its proximity to what may be a much older field system, alongside a stone bearing an early Christian cross, compresses several distinct periods of use into a single small corner of the Kerry landscape.
