Indicated is a linear earthwork in Cam,cloonacaltry,cuilleenirwan,curry (athlone South By.),milltown (athlone South By.),skeavally,tawnagh,tobermacloughlin, County Roscommon, Ireland. A five-kilometre drystone wall marks the boundary between Keogh and O'Fallon territories and separates Clonfert and Elphin dioceses. The structure stands one to sixteen decimetres high on an undulating landscape, with a seven-hundred-metre laneway alongside its eastern end.

On an undulating landscape. This wall (L c. 5km) forms the boundary between Moyfinn, which is the Keogh territory of Taghmaconnell parish, to the S and the parishes of Dysart, which was O'Fallon of Milltown territory, and Cam parish to the N as marked on the Strafford map of Athlone barony c. 1636 (Simington 1949). It is also the boundary between Clonfert and Elphin dioceses. Drystone-built wall (Wth c. 1m; H c. 1.2-1.6m), well-built, but collapsed in places. It is slightly stronger than other walls in the area, frequently with two flush faces, but there is no evidence of an older wall on its line. It is accompanied at its E end by a laneway (L c. 700m) on its N side. Although this follows the line depicted on the Strafford map there is no conclusive evidence that it is the wall represented.
