In undulating wet pasture, immediately N of Geevagh village. Traces of a relict field system, underlying the modern field system, are spread over a rectangular area c. 300m x c. 250m which is characterised by rock outcrops and bushes. In the NW quadrant is a roughly pentagonal field (c. 50m N-S; 55m E-W) defined on its W side by an earth and stone field boundary and elsewhere by a disused sod-covered limestone rubble wall (H 0.7-1.2m). Adjoining the NE side of this field is a roughly rectangular field (20m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (H 0.3-0.6m). Two linear earth and stone banks (L c. 50m; H 0.5m) lie c. 150m to SSE. Traces of other field boundaries, visible in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, G 273-2), are not visible at ground level.
