What is recorded here

An L-shaped field wall in Gortlahard curves from the Cappagh boundary southward, then westward across a slope above the Sheen River. Its stones have collapsed into the pasture, yet the basal row still protrudes through the peat like a forgotten seam. The line may have marked grass, ownership or ritual distance near the cairns and possible fulacht fia, while people moved through that valley with dogs, children or burdened carts.

In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the SW. A field wall (T c. 1.2m; H c. 0.4m) commences c. 20m S of the E-W townland boundary between Cappagh and Gortlahard. It extends S for c. 20m then curves around to the W and continues to extend in this direction for c. 57m. The wall survives in a collapsed state with loose stones on the ground on the downslope (S) side. The basal stones protrude from the peat. A possible fulacht fia (KE093-097002-) is c. 50m to the SE and three cairns (KE093-097003-, KE093-097004-, KE093-097005-) are in the immediate vicinity.
