What is recorded here

Coomclogh in County Cork, Ireland. A stone boundary still stands there, about ninety metres long and half a metre high. It climbs from better land, bends northeast, and stops near drier grazing. A two-metre gap breaks it two-thirds of the way up. That gap may have been a gate, a cart track, or the place where the wall simply gave out. The stones do not explain themselves, but they keep the shape of a choice made long ago.
This is a boundary formed of field stones surviving to a maximum height of 0.5m. It is c.90m in length and runs uphill (south – north) from the better land to the south before swinging to the northeast and finishing around a drier patch of grazing. There is a 2m wide gap in the boundary c two thirds of the way uphill. It would also appear to extend further to the south into an area of partially improved grazing.
