Situated on a terrace on the SW flank of Knockendurrick is a field-system and associated hut-circle. The field-system is defined by clearance banks. One enclosed plot is visible and another partial enclosure; a concentration of cairns at the 'open' end of this, perhaps indicates the formalisation of cairn clearance into recognisable plots which was never completed. The banks measure between 1m and 2m in thickness and 0.2m to 0.6m in height. Some stretches of a substantial bank, composed of small stones, appear to have been created by infilling a line of cairns, giving a 'string of beads' impression. The cairns measure between 2m and 6m in diameter and between 0.2m and 0.6m in height. The enclosed plot and the partly-defined plot to the SW are very smooth and stone-free relative to the surrounding area, and a well-defined scar runs to the SW of the hut-circle (NX65NW 46.1) continuing the line of one of the banks.
