What is recorded here

In pasture, on top of a ridge. A fragmented pattern of field boundaries, covering an area c. 300m x 90m, is visible in an aerial photograph (IASAP, 3043089-90) radiating to E, S and W of a cashel (SL021-046003-). On the ground, the field boundaries are evident as slight stony rises covered with moss. Immediately to W of the cashel, the walls enclose small subrectangular fields of unequal size (e.g. 25m N-S x 12.5m E-W; 16m N-S x 45-50m E-W) laid out axially along a natural E-W elevation. The shape of the fields is largely dictated by natural contours. A possible hut site (SL021-046006-) is located c. 20m SW of the cashel and appears to be associated with this field system.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL021-046004
