Field system in Abbey (tiaquin By.) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Knockmoy Abbey stands beside a vast forgotten farm, its fields stretching half a kilometre across the Galway landscape. Low collapsed stone walls still mark the boundaries, and faint cultivation lines remain visible in the earth. The monastery likely sustained itself through this land, turning raw nature into ordered sustenance. What appears abandoned is actually transformed, human labour made visible through patience rather than force.

To W and N of Knockmoy Abbey (GA058-004001-). It consists of a series of fields covering an area c. 550m NW-SE by c. 400m NE-SW. Defined by low grassed-over collapsed stone walls, some of the fields are rectilinear in plan and traces of cultivation are visible. (Topgr.
