What is recorded here
Field system in Erris is a field system in Erris, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a north-facing slope where roughly thirteen hectares of low grass-covered banks, scarps or stone spreads create an irregular pattern, though rectangular fields about one hundred by fifty metres dominate the northern end. An enclosure and cashel lie within the boundaries, while Templenadriney church, a man-made underground passage and a holy well mark the south-western edge.
