What is recorded here

Shehy Beg holds an eighteen-metre collapsed wall, partially buried in bog and turf, running from a rock outcrop downhill into the unknown. Tony Miller reported the ancient boundary in January 2013, revealing a line once drawn across living land before the swamp swallowed it. The wall does not preserve a whole field, but it preserves the fact that the field existed, that someone walked its edge and divided the world into inside and outside.

This relict field wall was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 28th January 2013. He describes it as follows: "A section of ancient field walling which is in a collapsed state and partially buried by the turf and bog. An 18m linear section is visible running from the southwest, where it abuts a rock outcrop, to the northeast, where it runs down hill and out into the bog."
