The site was identified through a GSI aerial photograph, and what it shows is a field system, a network of boundaries radiating outward from a central enclosure, the kind of landscape feature that generations of walkers may have crossed without recognising for what it is.

The relationship between the various elements is not straightforward. Some of the field boundaries appear to be contemporary with the central enclosure, suggesting an organised agricultural landscape laid out as a coherent whole at some point in the past. Others, along with a number of trackways, are likely later additions, and at least some of this later activity seems connected to quarrying that took place within the enclosure itself. That detail points to a landscape that was not simply abandoned but was put to different uses over time, each phase leaving its own marks on top of the earlier ones. The enclosure at the centre, catalogued separately, acts as a kind of anchor around which this layered history arranges itself.

The site sits on the northern side of the Nuenna valley, with open views to the south, east, and west, though the ridge blocks the outlook to the north. The terrain is rough, with bracken covering much of the ground, which means the individual field boundaries are more legible from above than from within. This is one of those places where the aerial view and the on-the-ground experience tell quite different stories.
