Field boundary in Coom (bear By.)

In rough hill pasture, with occasional outcropping rock, on a SE-facing slope. The remains of a relict stone field boundary (T 0.4m; H 0.4m) which protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and extend in a general NE-SW direction for a distance of c. 80m. The relict wall is defined by a curvilinear line of stones, some of which are set at right angles to the line of the wall, while other stones are leaning or have fallen.
