What is recorded here
Indicated stretches 3.5km from Gragan West to Croagh South, a narrow shelf beside Corkscrew Hill widening into lower ground. Cairns, fulachtaí fia, cashels and hut sites still mark the fields. People likely lived, cooked and buried along this ridge for centuries, shaping the land before the fields disappeared under grass.
An extensive field system (c. 3.5km NW-SE) visible on OS Aerial Premium (2012-2018) stretching from Gragan West at N to Croagh South at S. The N half, just 500m W of Corkscrew Hill, is narrow (c. 360m E-W) and occupies a shelf on the E slopes of Faunarooska. The SE extent on lower ground widens to c. 1km. Many cairns, fulachtaí fia, cashels, enclosures and hut sites lie within.
