Field boundary in Coomleagh

In rough hill grazing on shallow bog, on the steep SE-facing slopes of Caunoge Mountain and overlooking the valley of the Owroe River. A stretch of a mainly curvilinear field wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m), which protrudes above the surface of the bog, extends intermittently in a NE direction for c. 40m from a hut site (KE080-031----) to the bank of a SE-flowing river. The poorly preserved wall contains some large slabs set at right angles to the line of the wall.
