What is recorded here
No visible boundary remains on the gently undulating grassland, only faint collapsed stone walls scattered across roughly 170 by 150 metres. Several small rectangular enclosures still show through the turf, but most of the walls refuse to form an obvious pattern. The lost handlers, cattle, tenants or owners have left no name behind, and even the dead were later brought into that same unnamed landscape.
In gently undulating grassland. A series of grassed-over collapsed stone walls cover an area c. 170m NE-SW by c. 150m E-W. Several small rectangular enclosures are visible, although most of the walls form no obvious pattern. A private burial plot and a CBG (GA059-066001-) lie within the system. (Claffey 1983, 164)
