What is recorded here

Thirty metres of ancient wall still slope upward through the bog on Rosleague, though fire-breaks and forest erased the summit markers. The boundary crossed a living hill where people once walked, measured or kept animals before peat swallowed the edge. It is not a grand ruin, but a thin line of continuity: human effort marking land, then landscape changing the meaning of the mark.

On SE-facing slope close to the summit of a prominent hill. A short stretch of pre-bog wall is visible in cutaway bog (L c. 30m) running roughly E-W uphill where it is covered by a thin layer of peat. Obliterated by a fire-break and forest on the hill summit. There is a stone pair (GA023-030----) to SSW and the site of a standing stone (GA023-029----) to NW, both on summits of the same hill.
