This series of drystone walls is situated on top of a bedrock rise, with small incised valleys on either side. The walls themselves are numerous and urn in all directions, linking various area of bedrock. The walls on the whole are only 1 course high and sitting in peat. It is unclear whether this ereis of walls makes up an area of multiple shielings or stock enclosures.
