Field system in Carn — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Carn holds a forgotten farming grid radiating from its rath, visible only when viewed from above. Earth and stone banks, two metres wide but just thirty centimetres high, stretch south and northwest across the ground. They may have marked pasture or crop limits for the people who lived at the rath, yet gravity and grass have softened their edges until the whole system nearly vanished from ordinary sight.

Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 375: 60) revealed a number of field boundaries radiating from a rath (see GA105-210----). These are defined by banks of earth and stone (Wth 2m; H 0.3m). One extends from the rath at SW and runs in a S direction for c. 60m. Another extends off it at NW and runs in a NW direction for c. 30m where it then runs into another boundary that extends c. 40m to its W and c. 100m to its NE. These boundaries may be part of a field system associated with the rath. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 2 June 2017
