Field system in Ballinvally

Located on a fairly level landscape at the N foothills of Slieve na Calliagh ridge. Aerial photographs from 1991 (GB91.DD.37; GB91.DE.05) show an area of about 24 acres (c. 10 ha) that contains relict field banks or walls forming irregularly rectangular fields (dims c. 60m x c. 50m). One field neatly encloses the enclosure (ME009-107----). The fields are overlaid by NW-SE furrows but elements of the field walls are cut by the possible cursus (ME009-087----), suggesting that it might be a late feature like a roadway.
