What is recorded here

Tony Miller reported the two-hundred-metre boundary in Shehy Beg during December 2014, preserving a forgotten line across rough mountain grazing. The stones skirt a rounded dry hill while avoiding western bog, suggesting humans once understood which ground would swallow their feet. One upright marker may have shown a gap for passage, yet no gate remains. The border still divides breathability from danger, long after the fields disappeared.

This relict field boundary was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on the 10th of December 2014. He describes it as follows: "A relict field boundary running roughly north-south in an area of rough mountain grazing and bog. It is c. 200m in length and skirts the bottom of a rounded hill of drier ground rising to the east while it is wetter and boggier to the west. A single line of field stones protrude from the turf and a single stone standing upright and higher than the rest possibly marks a gap in the boundary.''
