Field system in Garvoge

Field system

What is recorded here

Garvoge held a ringfort and radiating fields on a gentle SE-facing slope, visible only in a 1969 aerial photograph before the land erased them. The fields reached outward like spokes from a hidden hub, suggesting a household that measured its world in distance rather than ownership. They vanished without a ruin to point at, leaving behind a shape remembered through shadow and grass.
Visible on a 1969 aerial photograph (CUCAP AYP 58) as the cropmarks of a probable ringfort site (KD013-003001-) with traces of a field system apparently both radiating off and encircling it (est max diam. c. 160m). Near the top of a long, gentle, SE-facing pasture slope. No visible surface traces survive. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
