Field system in Tintern

Field system

What is recorded here

A recent photogrammetric survey of the Tintern area conducted by Simon Dowling identified an area of field banks in the valley N of the abbey covering an area of c. 4 ha (c. 9 acres). About four rectangular fields (dims c. 40-45m x c. 90m) can be identified. These are probably related to the Cistercians rather than the Colcloughs.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX045-027008
