Spread across roughly 2,000 square metres at Shrone More, the walls here represent not a single moment of construction but at least two distinct building traditions preserved side by side. Some are low, rounded mounds of small limestone boulders and occasional slabs, no more than half a metre high, which raises a curious question: if that modest height was always the intention, the walls may originally have been topped with wooden posts to make them functional as field boundaries. Others are altogether more substantial, built from large upright limestone slabs forming both inner and outer faces, with rubble packed between them, reaching around a metre in height and a metre in width. It is this second type that predominates, enclosing several small, rounded fields whose shapes suggest a working agricultural landscape rather than anything monumental.

The site came to broader attention through F. Coyne's 2006 upland archaeological study, "Islands in the Clouds", which examined the archaeology of Mount Brandon and the Paps. What gives Shrone More an additional layer of interest is its proximity to a group of stone chambers and a chambered mound immediately to the south. A chambered mound is a prehistoric funerary or ritual structure, typically a large earthen or stone mound enclosing one or more roofed chambers. Crucially, none of the field walls cuts across or disturbs these monuments, a relationship that Coyne notes as potentially significant. When two sets of archaeological features sit side by side without interfering with each other, it can suggest they were in use at the same time, built by people who knew exactly what their neighbours had already put in the ground. The walls are continuing to emerge from the peat as turf cutting exposes them further, meaning the picture of this landscape is still, in a literal sense, being uncovered.
