Field boundary

What is recorded here

Yes. The identity and section content must remain consistent. An exact visible row should exist in the matching disclosed material.
In rough pasture, on cutaway bog, in the saddle to E of Eagle Hill. Turf-cutting has exposed the remains of collapsed, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) that are set on the underlying mineral soil. The mainly curvilinear relict walls run intermittently in a general NW-SE direction across the saddle for c. 160m. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
