Stretching roughly 1.9 kilometres from east to west and about a kilometre from north to south, an irregular field system spreads across the upland in a pattern that speaks to centuries, possibly millennia, of continuous human use. What makes it particularly arresting is not any single feature but the sheer density of monuments layered within and around it, each one pointing to a different moment in a very long story of occupation.

The fields themselves are just the framework. Folded into the same plateau are cashels, which are dry-stone ringforts typically associated with early medieval farming communities, alongside settlement enclosures, a standing stone, and a megalithic structure whose precise classification remains uncertain. The burial cairns add another register entirely. One of them contains an early medieval cist burial, a cist being a small stone-lined grave, inserted into what was already an older prehistoric cairn at the time of its reuse. There is also a ring-cairn and three further cairns that have not yet been formally classified. The result is a landscape where prehistoric and early medieval activity overlap without either period fully displacing the other. Field systems of this kind are not uncommon in the west of Ireland, but few present quite such a concentrated accumulation of monument types within a single bounded area. The site became clearly legible through aerial photography, with its extent traced from Digital Globe imagery taken between 2011 and 2013 and orthophotographs captured between 2012 and 2018, meaning much of what is now understood about its scale has only recently been mapped in any detail.
