Field boundary in Killacolla (shanid By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killacolla holds a collapsed stone wall stretching ninety-four metres beside Prospect Hill, marking an old field edge now buried under reclaimed pasture. The wall once separated human land from wild terrain, and a nearby cairn suggests people cleared stones from the soil and stacked them in a heap. It is easy to imagine hands pulling stones from dark earth, building a line that visibility itself could not erase. The wall still resists forgetting, even when grass and time cover its shape.

On the N-facing side of Prospect Hill, immediately E of the pre-bog field system (LI018-01107-) recorded by Doody (1992; 1993). The sod-covered remains of a collapsed stone wall (Wth c. 0.9m; H c. 0.3m) extends c. 94m W from a recent N-S field boundary, with a gap of c. 8m between the two. Adjacent to the E end of the wall is a collection of stones which are probably the remains of a field-clearance cairn. There is now no surface trace of this field boundary in a field of reclaimed pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
