Field system in Raheen (coshma By.)

On undulating ground occupying the SW corner of Raheen townland, 1.7km W of Lough Gur. Ringfort (LI031-075----) located on the E boundary of the field system. Megalithic tomb (LI031-074----) located on the NE margin of the field system, enclosure (LI031-204----) and prehistoric burials (LI031-076----) are located on the SW margin of the field system. The field boundaries are not depicted on OSi historic maps. The features are visible on the OSi orthoimages taken 2005-12 and on the Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-2013. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 72: 4/3600). The field system is visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 05/04/2006; 25/03/2017 and 24/09/2018. The fields appears to overlap above the ringfort enclosure (LI031-075----) suggesting that the final phase of use of the fields post-dates that monument.
