  In rough hill grazing on a mantle of blanket bog, on an E-facing slope. A relict stone field boundary (L c. 75m; T 0.65m; H 0.75m) winds in a general E-W direction, passing two fulachtaí fia (CO115-137003-, CO115-137006-) to the S and a hut site (CO115-137002-), a burnt mound (CO115-137001-) and another fulacht fia (CO115-137007-) to the N. Another relict wall (L c. 95m) branches off the W portion of the initial stretch and winds in a S and then a SE direction.
