What is recorded here

Four upright slabs marked a lost boundary in Cnoc An Bhróigín Thoir, standing roughly north-south through wet peat until drainage destroyed them in 1985. They probably divided ancient fields before the bog swallowed most of the region. People may have walked that line for generations, reading ownership or use from stones now gone.

A possible pre-bog field wall, represented by 4 upright slabs forming a roughly N-S line c. 50m long. The stones were .66m, 1.41m and 1.22m in height, and the 4th protruded only slightly above the surface of the bog. The field in which they were located was reclaimed in 1985, and the wall destroyed; prior to that the field was wet and marshy and covered with an undetermined depth of peat. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 30. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 3 August 2013
