In the same field and to the S of a cashel (GA104-117001-). McCaffrey (1952, 226, no. 138) noted 'remains of an older field system' and described it as a 'group of small fields bounded by upright stone blocks' (ibid., 74). The area has subsequently been reclaimed and no visible surface traces survive.
