Field system in An Carn Mór Thiar

In an area of pastureland and exposed limestone sloping to the SW. A series of poorly preserved field walls visible on aerial photographs (https://binged.it/2oxnmh0 last accessed 29 March 2017) may be part of a possible field system associated with a concentric enclosure (GA083-079----) and an enclosure (GA083-080----). Though they do not form any coherent pattern a number of meandering and straight lengths of walls are visible over an area c. 300m ENE-WSW by 220m N-S. Most are visible in the field in which the enclosures are located but one stretch is also visible in the field to the N of the concentric enclosure. The walls are defined by spreads of tumbled grass-covered boulders. One section of walling (Wth 2.9m; H 0. 24m) extends southwards (L c. 40m) from the concentric enclosure then veers north-westwards (L c. 100m). Traces of walls also extend from the enclosure at ENE (Wth 2.45m) and SE. Another levelled field wall, running roughly N-S across the field, is visible immediately to its W.
