Field system in Doonvullen Upper — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Nine parallel boundaries cut across wet Doonvullen Upper pasture, spacing fifty metres apart and curving around a hidden ringfort. Three ancient barrows watch the eastern edge while the fields stretch toward Caherline. People may have grazed cattle there for centuries, reading the land through repeated labour rather than written permission. The geometry remains patient beneath modern grass, waiting for rain or flight to reveal its shape again.

On low-lying improved, wet pasture, abutting the townland boundary with Caherline. A ringfort (LI023-049----) is located within the W corner of the field system. Three ring-barrows (LI023-181-/183-/255----) are within the E end of the field system. The field system is partially depicted on the OSi 1840 ed. 6-inch and 1897 ed. 25-inch map. It is visible as a relic field system on OSi Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-2013. Identified as a co-axial field system by the Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 276: AP 4/3689). The field boundaries are orientated NNE-SSW and are roughly spaced 50m apart. Nine parallel boundaries form part of the system (ext. dims. 350m NE-SW; 490m SE-NW). The W terminus appears to curve around the ringfort (LI023-049----). The field system is partially visible on Digital Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
