Field boundary in An Inse Mhór (tc Sliabh Riabhach)

In rough hill grazing on bog, on a S-facing slope, with views across the valley to Carrignaspirroge. A network of mainly curvilinear, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.3m), that protrude above the surface of the bog, occurs intermittently throughout a roughly rectangular area (c. 180m E-W; c. 90m N-S). Stone slabs set at right angles to the line of the wall are occasionally visible along stretches of the relict boundaries. The walls run on into the deeper bog in hollow or level areas. Four hut sites (CO057-008002-, CO057-008003, CO057-008006, CO057-008008-), two enclosures (CO057-008004-, CO057-008005-) and a fulacht fia (CO057-008007-) are within the field boundary network.
