Field boundary in Derrynacaheragh

In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Feabunaun stream. The remains of mainly curvilinear stone walls (T 0.6m; H 0.6m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and indicate an extensive network of relict field walls in an area measuring c. 850m NE-SW x c. 480m NW-SE. Several gaps occur in the network where the walls run on into bog. Upright stones, set at right angles to the line of the wall, were noted in several places. There are three enclosures (KE102-062002-, KE102-062005-, KE102-062006-), six hut sites (KE102-062009-, KE102-062010-, KE102-062013-, KE102-062014-, KE102-062015-, KE102-062017-), two fulachtaí fia ( KE102-062011-, KE102-062016-) and three possible fulachtaí fia (KE102-062003-, KE102-062004-, KE102-062012-) within this network of relict field walls.
