What is recorded here
Field system in Lisnagavragh is a field system in Lisnagavragh, County Roscommon, Ireland. It lies on a level landscape beside Loughaneally lough, which appears on the 1837 Ordnance Survey map and is now reclaimed. Relict field boundaries approach the nearby rath from several directions but stop short of its defensive ditch. A rectangular enclosure sits south of the rath and cuts through one of these approaching field banks.
On a level landscape on the NW shore of Loughaneally lough (dims c. 530m NW-SE; c. 270m NE-SW), which is marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Loughaneally was probably a turlough and is now reclaimed. Relict field boundaries (Wth 4m; H 0.3m) approach the rath (RO044-070001-) from the S at E (L c. 120m), SW (L c. 100m) and WNW (L c. 130m), although they do not reach the fosse of the rath. The rectangular enclosure (RO044-071002-) is c. 20m S of the rath and its perimeter at N cuts the field bank approaching the rath from the SW.
