What is recorded here

Ballynamought holds an eighteen-metre stone wall aligned north-northeast to south-southwest, marking a forgotten field edge rather than a ancient chamber. Random stones rise forty centimetres above stony soil, continuing a boundary near a standing stone while thin peat hovers above the ground. The site resists grandeur, preserving only the practical line where someone once separated their land from the wild.

This wall is made up of random field stones and is c 18m in length (max W 0.8m ; H 0.4m). A relict field boundary, not pre-bog in origin. In the area a thin peaty soil cover up to 0.1m in depth overlay a stony mineralised subsoil exposed in places. The orientation of this boundary wall is NNE-SSW. It appears to be a partial continuation of the field boundary to the west of the standing stone (CO092-048----) to the southeast. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2022
