Field system in Mitchelstowndown North — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Mystery field systems in Mitchelstowndown North and Knocklong East. They hide beneath wet pasture, waiting for rain or drought to reveal their lines. People may have farmed there before maps existed, shaping soil and water with patient hands. The land keeps their labour hidden, releasing only shadows when conditions change.

In reclaimed wet pasture, 120m S of watercourse that forms townland boundary with Knocklong East. Not marked on OSi historic maps. Identified as an earthwork complex or a possible field with a settlement system on Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline aerial photographs (BGE 1/5000 2572; Strip Map 4, Site 4/17) taken 03/11/1984.
