Field system in Kilvoy

Field system

What is recorded here

First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is situated in rough pasture on a slight S-facing slope. The LiDAR image clearly shows an area of about 2.5 ha (c. 6 acres) divided into small rectangular enclosures (dims c. 30m x. c. 40m) by banks and some ditches. No regular pattern of banks can be identified, but some ditch features (Wth of top 3m; D 0.25m) of what is probably a post-medieval field system can be confirmed through ground inspection.
