Field boundary in Teeromoyle

In rough grazing on the lower SW-facing slopes of Teeromoyle Mountain. The remains of relict field walls (T 0.6m; H c. 0.5m), which protrude intermittently above the surface of shallow bog, contain many slab-type stones set at right angles to the line of the wall. Several gaps occur in the walls. The field walls occupy an irregular area (c. 900m E-W; c. 540m N-S).
