What remains is a complex of ancient field systems and enclosures sitting in the same ground where they were first laid out, possibly long before anyone thought to map them. The 1842 Ordnance Survey already shows the landscape broadly as it is, which means the boundaries visible here predate that record, and the site almost certainly contains layers going back considerably further.

The area encompasses several distinct field systems as well as a number of enclosures, all loosely connected by a series of linear strip fields running roughly north-northeast to south-southwest. Strip fields of this kind are a common feature of post-medieval Irish land organisation, where individual plots were laid out in long, narrow parcels and distributed among farming households. But the arrangement here appears older than its post-medieval surface, and the presence of multiple enclosures alongside the field boundaries suggests earlier phases of activity, possibly including prehistoric or early medieval use of the land. Ros Ó Maoldúin, who noted and reported the site to the National Monuments Service, identified it as a large uncleared area of genuine archaeological complexity rather than a single feature with a tidy date attached to it.
