Field boundary in Rougham

In rough pasture, on cutaway bog, in a level area to the S of the Kerry River. Turf- cutting has exposed a curvilinear stretch of a collapsed, relict, stone field boundary (T 0.8-1.4m; H 0.5m) which extends in a general E-W direction for a distance of c. 130m. Similar short stretches of wall branch off the main wall in a general N direction at irregular intervals. Some of the stone from these walls appear to have been used to build the more recent field boundaries in the general area. A boulder-burial (CO090-016001-) is c. 50m to the E.
