Field boundary in Canshanavoe

In rough pasture, on cutaway bog, c. 35m to the E of a togher (CO103-024001-), on the lower S-facing slopes of Canshanavoe Mountain and overlooking the valley of the Adrigole River to S. Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of a relict stone field boundary (T 0.7m; H 0.3m; L c. 40m N-S) which is set on the underlying mineral soil. Many stones are set at right angles to the line of the pre-bog field boundary and are largely obscured by heather and gorse.
