Field boundary in Aghamore (rosclogher By., Glencar Ed)

Field boundary

What is recorded here

Half a metre high and fifty metres long, the wall crosses bare karst in Aghamore before disappearing into bog at both ends. It sits between a wedge tomb and a sheepfold, marking a boundary nobody lives behind anymore. The stones may have kept sheep, people, or forgot their purpose entirely.
Located on an area of exposed karst (dims c. 370m N-S; c. 130-200m E-W) that is fairly flat and is on a broad plateau which slopes generally down to the SE. A low wall (L c. 50m; Wth c. 0.5m; H c. 0.5m) runs E-W across the karst, but cannot be seen at either end where the bog resumes. This wall is situated c. 100m SE of the wedge tomb (LE006-033----), and c. 150m S of sheepfold (LE006-030003-). Traces of another wall (L 10m) run S from this sheepfold and meet another slight E-W wall (L c. 34m). At its W end this wall turns SW (L c. 18m) to hut-site (LE006-030012-).
