Stone walls, each roughly sixty centimetres thick and sixty centimetres high, push up through the surface of the ground in interrupted runs, tracing the boundaries of fields that no longer function as fields. Some walls run in straight lines; others curve, following the logic of older, less geometric ways of dividing land. Together they sketch out an area of approximately two hundred and fifty metres in each direction, facing down towards a river valley below.

What makes the site more than simply a ruined boundary wall is the complexity it conceals. Within the field system there are three enclosures, the kind of defined, walled spaces that might have held livestock or served a domestic purpose, and three hut sites, the low, collapsed remains of structures where people once lived or sheltered. The gaps that interrupt the walls throughout the area are common in sites like this, the result of stones being robbed for later building, of gradual collapse, or of the bog slowly consuming what was left standing. The combination of rectilinear and curvilinear walling suggests either different phases of construction or different functions for different parts of the system, though the precise dating of the site has not been established from the available information.

The walls protrude just above the bog surface rather than standing proud of the landscape, which means the site rewards close attention on the ground rather than a glance from a distance. Bog and rough hill pasture can obscure the full extent of what survives, but moving through the area and following the interrupted lines of stone gives a sense of a settled, organised community that once managed this hillside with some care.
