What is recorded here

In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope at the E end of the Coomacheo River valley. A roughly circular area (int. 7.4m N-S; 6.6m E-W) is defined by the remains of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.45m) now in a jumbled state. The larger base stones are protruding from the bog and some stones are scattered in the interior, which slopes down to the NE. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
