What is recorded here
Drumirril holds a field system in County Monaghan, Ireland. Blaze O' Connor identified the layout, and that simple act pulled the stones from obscurity into human memory. The fields may have fed families, marked borders or shaped local life before written records appeared. They still stand as evidence that the land was not empty, but occupied, arranged and remembered.
Field system identified by Blaze O' Connor - see figure 3.73 in O' Connor B. 2006, 'Inscribed Landscapes contextualising prehistoric rock art in Ireland'. Unpublished PHD thesis, University College Dublin.Date of upload: 27 August 2010
