Field system in Bunowna

In gently undulating coastal grassland, immediately NE of Easkey village. Ground falls very gently for 300m to N ending at a rocky shoreline. The Easkey River lies to E, opening into the sea c. 500m to NE. A fragmentary field system extends over an area of c. 300m N–S by c. 400m E-W, across three adjacent modern rectangular fields. The field boundaries, which follow roughly N–S, E–W and NE–SW axes, have been levelled and can be traced intermittently as barely discernible surface undulations, mostly visible only at an oblique angle. Several field boundaries intersect but the complete outlines of individual fields can not be traced. Incorporated into the field boundaries towards the NE of their extent, are a circular enclosure (SL011-143----) and a subrectangular enclosure (SL011-143002-).
