Here, aerial surveys and archaeological fieldwork have revealed a series of small rectangular fields, each measuring approximately 20 metres by 10 metres, defined by ancient ditches. These field boundaries stretch across roughly five acres, representing what appears to be an organised farming system from centuries past. The precise, geometric layout suggests careful planning and division of the land, possibly dating to the medieval period when such systematic field patterns were common in Irish rural settlements.

The site gains additional historical significance from its proximity to a moated site within the same area of Skreen. Moated sites, typically dating from the 13th to 14th centuries, were defensive homesteads surrounded by water-filled ditches; often the residences of Anglo-Norman settlers or prosperous Irish families. The combination of these features suggests this area was once home to a well-established agricultural community with both defensive structures and carefully managed farmland.

Archaeological inventory records from County Meath, compiled in 1987 and updated through ongoing research, continue to shed light on sites like this one. The survival of these field boundaries as visible features in the landscape, whether as earthworks or crop marks, provides valuable evidence of how medieval communities organised their agricultural activities. Such sites help archaeologists piece together the evolution of rural settlement patterns in Ireland, from the medieval period through to the changes brought about by later agricultural improvements.
