What is recorded here

Field system in Clonakenny is a field system in Clonakenny, County Tipperary, Ireland. A possible circular or D-shaped enclosure appeared in June 1973 aerial photography immediately southwest of the church, perhaps forming one part of a wider field system connected to the medieval church and castle. Several old field banks still stand nearby, though they do not arrange themselves into a clear pattern. The closeness of these banks to the church, rectangular enclosure and tower house makes medieval settlement likely in this field.

A possible circular or D-shaped enclosure was identified on aerial photograph (GSI June 1973 S.84/3/2) immediately SW of the church (TN023-030002-) which may have been part of a field system associated with the medieval church and castle (TN023-030001-) at Clonakenny. There are a number of old field banks immediately SW of the church but these do not form any particular pattern. Likely that a field lying so close to a medieval church, rectangular enclosure (TN023-030003-) and tower house and bawn (TN023-030001-) would have remnants of medieval settlement.
