In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. Field boundaries form a roughly trapezoidal field (long axis E-W) measuring c. 35m N-S at the W end, c. 60m E-W and c. 20m N-S at the E end. Another field wall adjoins the S side of the field, roughly midway along its length, and extends to the S for c. 100m. Another wall extends SE from the SE corner of the field for c. 30m. All of the walls are of drystone construction using relatively small stones. Occasionally the stone walls disappear beneath the bog. A hut site (KE093-085004-) adjoins the E side of the W boundary of the field. Four other hut sites (KE093-085001-, KE093-085002-, KE093-085005-, KE093-085006-), a relict field boundary (KE093-085007-) and another field system (KE093-085----) are in the immediate vicinity.
