Field system in Caherateige

Field system

What is recorded here

Surrounding a cashel (GA113-030001-) and enclosure (GA113-030003-) from S through W to NE, this field system consists of a series of drystone walls, much obscured by overgrowth; it covers an area of c. 100m by c. 100m. A roughly circular enclosure (18m N-S; 16m E-W) defined by a single line of drystone walling is evident at W. A double-faced drystone wall extends from it at SW and runs SW from c. 18m before turning SE for c. 60m. Elsewhere only intermittent traces of walls are visible.
