Field system in Carn

Field system

What is recorded here

Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 375: 60) revealed a number of field boundaries radiating from a rath (see GA105-210----). These are defined by banks of earth and stone (Wth 2m; H 0.3m). One extends from the rath at SW and runs in a S direction for c. 60m. Another extends off it at NW and runs in a NW direction for c. 30m where it then runs into another boundary that extends c. 40m to its W and c. 100m to its NE. These boundaries may be part of a field system associated with the rath.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA105-210001
