Field system in Cummeenshrule

Field system

What is recorded here

Cummeenshrule holds a circular hut and dry stone walls on a steep ridge above a tributary of the Coomeelan Stream. The field system faces west, catching late light while water moves along both sides of the land. It may have supported livestock, cultivation or both, though no name or date remains attached to the hands that built it.
In rough steep hill grazing, on the N side of the Priest’s Leap, on a W facing valley containing a tributary of the Coomeelan Stream. The remains of a circular hut site (KE103-060----) built on a low ridge of exposed bedrock. A small stream runs immediately to the W while the main river is further to the E. Immediately to the SW there is a small, roughly rectangular and partially built up area which could have been used for corralling livestock or for cultivation. Further to the SW and also to the N are two dry stone walls built across natural terraces. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Tony Miller Date of upload: 21 February 2023
