Field system in Cregg North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Nine hectares of rectilinear cropmarks still cut across Cregg North, preserving field boundaries long gone. Ringforts, ring-ditches and a circular enclosure sit inside the pattern, suggesting the land was divided, defended and reused rather than merely farmed. The sharp angles leave no visible wall, yet they record repeated human choices about ownership, access and survival.

Pattern of rectilinear cropmarks, some perpendicular to each other, visible in aerial photographs (CASAP, July 1989). Cropmarks cover area of c. 9ha and indicate relict field system. Ringfort (CO035-01301-), ring-ditches (CO035-01302-; CO035-01303-; CO035-01304-; CO035-01305-) and circular enclosure (CO035-091---) within system. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
