The field-system is best-defined upslope from hut 'D' at NH 5932 7590. A bank extends from the E arc of the hut-circle and then turns uphill for about 40m to join the SE corner of a sub-rectangular enclosure. This enclosure, which has an opening in the middle of the NE side, measures approximately 50m from SE to NW by 60m from NE to SW and has rounded corners. There is a possible hut-circle, 5m in diameter, at the SE corner. The walls of the enclosure, which have been revealed by heather burning are 1m thick and are faced on both sides of the rubble core. Further banks are visible in the vicinity of hut-circle 'E'. The distribution of small cairns extends over an area measuring 400m NW to SE by 300m transversely on the SW-facing hillside on which the unenclosed settlement (NH57NE 2.1) is located. The cairns measure about 5m in diameter and up to 0.5m in height; those on the NE, towards Bog Ban are partly covered by peat.
