Field system in Foffanagh

Field system

What is recorded here

Moss and memory have swallowed the walls, but the shape remains: a small field system on the south face of Kinnagoe Hill, tied to two hut sites and clearance cairns. Someone divided that slope into living space, perhaps for seasons rather than years, then left the stones to argue with the heather. Walk it at dusk and the terrace feels less like ruin than like a room waiting to be remembered.
The poorly preserved remains of a field system situated on an E-W terrace on the S facing slope of Kinnagoe Hill. A partially heather covered field wall runs onto the external face of the N wall of a possible hut site (DG029-059001-). This field wall runs off to the E along the base of the ridge running parallel to the terrace on which the hut site is located. The remains of several other heather covered field walls appear to run onto off this field wall forming a small field system which appears to be associated with the two hut sites (DG029-048) and the small field clearance cairns (DG029-058001/002/003-).
