What is recorded here

Curvilinear stone walls protrude through the bog on the lower slopes of Knocknagullion, marking a lost rectangular landscape nearly two hundred and sixty metres across. Upright stones pierce the damp earth at right angles to the boundary lines, suggesting human hands shaped the ground before the blanket bog swallowed the edges. The hidden enclosure and paved way beneath the surface wait for patience, while the standing stone watches the NE-facing hill in quiet endurance.

In rough hill pasture, on both cutaway and blanket bog, on the NE-facing lower slopes of Knocknagullion. The remains of mainly curvilinear stone walls (T 0.6m; H 0.45m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog over a roughly rectangular area (c. 260m N-S; c. 220m E-W). Many stones are set upright at right angles to the line of the wall. There is a standing stone (KE091-113001-), an enclosure (KE091-113003-) and a paved way (KE091-113004-) within this network of field walls.
