Within an old field system, in rough mountain terrain. Several drystone-built structures lie within or directly outside a large, roughly square enclosure/field. Three of these (KE034-132002-, KE034-132003- & KE034-132004-) are D-shaped structures abutting the inner face of the SW wall of the enclosure. They range from 2.1 x 1.2m to 4 x 3m in diameter internally and their walls are nowhere more than .6m high. Directly outside the SE wall of the enclosure is a circular foundation now totally filled in with collapse. D: at least 2m. Within the field, a short distance from its NW wall, are 3 conjoined structures. One is a circular corbelled hut. D: 3m. H: 2m. Abutting its SW side, but not communicating directly with it, is a sub-rectangular structure. D: 3.5 x 2.5m. H: .6m. A possible entrance at SW leads into a 3rd, ill-defined structure. D: 2.4 x 2m. H: .5m.
