What is recorded here

In reclaimed pasture, encompassing a small E–SW ridge and the lands to S and E of the ridge. To S is an area of boggy ground with a small turlough. When inspected in 1984 this field system consisted of a series of low banks forming rectilinear fields. Within the field system were two cashels (MA121-153001-; MA121-153002-) and two house sites (MA121-153003-; MA121-153007-) and a possible hut site (MA121-153004-) (SMR file). It was also recorded in a series of aerial photographs (CUCAP BDT 68, 69, 70, 88, 89; GSI M 196, print 19-20) in which cultivation ridges are visible in many of the small field plots. (SMR file). It was levelled during reclamation (Lavelle 194, 76, no 565).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record MA121-153006
