What is recorded here
Gorteenvacan holds an irregular field system where a ringfort and carved ditches still break through the soil. The land may have fed people, excluded strangers or marked boundaries long before written records. Its shape suggests lived choice rather than random erosion.
See KD039-016001-. Irregular system of fields showing as cropmarks of fosses on aerial photograph (CUCAP AYL 46). Ringfort/enclosure (KD039-016001) incorporated in system.
