What is recorded here

Scrub now strangles the lower SW slope of Gortaclare Mountain, hiding field walls that may stretch back beyond the post-medieval era. The Termon plateau rises to the NE like a forgotten stage, while ghost lines still break through the green dark. People may have lived here long before maps noticed them, shaping stone and soil under a sky that no longer remembers their names.

In scrub on the lower SW slope of Gortaclare Mountain with Termon plateau rising to the NE. A number of possibly post-medieval field walls are indicated on the 1916 OS 6-inch map in a clearing c. 40m E of an enclosure (CL006-205----) but it may include earlier elements. The field system is visible on the OS 2005-2012 orthophotographs and was noted by Ros Ó Maoldúin. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 6 December 2021
