What is recorded here

Field system in Ballyglass (castlereagh By.),rathkineely,rathnallog is a field system in Ballyglass (castlereagh By.),rathkineely,rathnallog, County Roscommon, Ireland. Interrupted long field banks run northwest-southeast across a gentle southwest-facing slope south of the rath. Smaller rectangular fields remain traceable between banks spaced about one hundred metres apart. The alignment differs from modern north-south or northeast-southwest fields, suggesting an early modern date.

On a gentle SW-facing slope. An area of c. 1km square S of rath (RO021-098----) has interupted sections of some long field banks (L c. 800m) running NW-SE and placed c. 100m apart. Some smaller rectangular fields (dims c. 100m x c. 50m) are traceable. Although the fields are not recorded on any map and they are on a different alignment to current fields, which are predominantly N-S or NE-SW, these fields are likely to be early modern in date.
