What is recorded here

Cutaway bog in Moorneen exposes a thirty-five-metre granite and schist wall climbing the south face of a drumlin ridge. The stones mark a lost field edge, perhaps beside a small structure now reduced to a loose scatter. Negative lynchets on either side suggest people worked that slope before peat buried the shape of their world.

In cutaway bog on S-facing slope of a prominent peat-covered drumlin ridge. Short discontinuous stretches of a pre-bog wall (L 35m) run N-S up on to the summit of the ridge. Built of granite and schist orthostats. The wall ends in a scatter of loose stones, conceivably the remains of a small stone structure. Possible negative lynchets are visible in the cutaway bog to either side of the wall.
