Field boundary in An Inse Mhór (tc Béal Átha An Ghaorthaidh)

Field boundary

What is recorded here

No human has crossed that bog for centuries. The wall is half a metre high and five metres long, buried under grass and sod. It still points north and south beside the Radial Stone Cairn. A field edge became a ghost line when the farm disappeared. The bog kept the shape but took the meaning.
Described by Quinn and Carroll (2010) as ‘a wall located in bog to NE of Radial Stone Cairn (CO080-047----). Orientated N/S. Poorly preserved small section of low wall, mainly grass and sod covered. Length 5.1, Width 0.4, Height 0.2m.' Quinn, A and Carroll, M (2010) ‘Archaeological, Architectural and Cultural Heritage Assessment for a Proposed Wind Farm at Doonens Co. Cork’, Unpublished report, Tobar Archaeological Services. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 21 August 2013
