Field boundary in Fehanagh

In rough hill pasture, on the ridge of N-facing slope, on the W bank of a tributary of the Glanrastel River. A linear stretch of a relict field wall (T c. 0.5m; H 0.6m) emerges from blanket bog at the E and extends in a general W direction for a distance of c. 44m and then disappears into bog. At c. 28m from the E end another field wall (L c. 12m) branches off to the NW and then disappears into the bog. There is a hut site (KE109-054002-) situated immediately NW of where these walls meet. The E-W field wall abuts the S arc of the hut site and the NW-SE wall abuts the NE arc. The relict walls are mainly collapsed and consist of large, rough lower course stones which protrude above the thin cover of blanket bog.
