What is recorded here
Creevagh North holds a vast network of earthen banks beside its castle, dividing level pasture into fields of various sizes. The walls stand firm enough to suggest human intent, yet no house or hearth has emerged to confirm whether this was a farm, a fortress yard, or a forgotten neighbour. The land keeps its shape while withholding its story, inviting speculation about the hands that raised them and the lives that moved between those ancient lines.
In level pasture, E of castle (MA118-090001-). Vast network of earthen banks make up fields of various sizes. May be part of a settlement.
