What is recorded here
Moss and grass have long since swallowed the boundaries, yet the booley settlement still marks a time when people divided the land into living sections. Whether medieval or later, the choice belongs to certainty, not invention. The field system remains a witness to human organisation, even when its edges have vanished beneath green growth.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as FIELD SYSTEM & ENCLOSURES - BOOLEY SETTLEMENT. Recorded period: UNCERTAIN; MED/L.MED. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
