Field system

What is recorded here

Field system in Farranyharpy is a field system in Farranyharpy, County Sligo, Ireland. Low banks of earth and stone mark fragmentary field boundaries east of a rath. One bank runs 30m northeast from the rath to join a second bank aligned northwest to southeast. That second bank extends 45m southeast and 90m northwest, where it meets an east-west bank running 70m toward a modern road.
In level pasture, located to E of a rath (SL012-093001-). Fragmentary remains of a relict field system. A low field bank (Wth 1.6-2m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone extends from the E side of the rath for 30m to NE where it intersects with a second field bank on a NW-SE axis. The latter extends to SE for c. 45m and to NW for c. 90m. At its NW end it meets another field bank, on a roughly E-W axis, which extends c. 70m to E, following the natural contours of the terrain, where it is truncated by a modern N-S road.
