What is recorded here

On a gently sloping terrace, on a W-facing hillslope overlooking Dursey Sound. An irregularly shaped mainly pasture area (c. 140m N-S; c. 120m E-W) is defined by the remains of a collapsed stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m), the base stones of which protrude from a low bank of peat and earth (Wth 0.7-1m). On the W side taller stones, set at right angles to the line of the wall, occur intermittently and lower similarly set stones occur in between. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
