The system covers roughly a hundred metres by a hundred metres of rough commonage, a modest footprint that nonetheless speaks to a sustained attempt at organising this landscape into something usable.

The walls themselves are low, averaging around half a metre thick and standing perhaps sixty-five centimetres above the current ground surface, the kind of dimensions that suggest long-term settlement and careful, if modest, construction rather than casual boundary marking. On the northern side of the system, rock outcrops interrupt and shape the enclosures, forcing irregular forms on what might otherwise have been more regular divisions. Beyond the main cluster, isolated stretches of wall surface and disappear across the bog with no clear pattern, which may indicate that the bog has buried connecting sections, or that the land use here was never entirely systematic. About thirty metres to the north lie two recorded hut sites, suggesting that people actually lived in close proximity to these fields rather than working them from a distance. The whole arrangement points to a small community making a permanent, or at least semi-permanent, go of life on this rocky Kerry hillside, though when exactly that community existed is not recorded. Field systems of this kind in Ireland can range widely in age, from the prehistoric to the early medieval and beyond, and without excavation the date here remains open.
