Field system in Erneen

In dry hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen. Traces of mainly grass-covered, collapsed, curvilinear stone walls (T 0.6m; H 0.6m) suggest fields of many shapes and sizes throughout area c. 340m E-W x 420m N-S. Numerous gaps were noted in the walls. There are occasional patches of shallow bog in this area.
