Field boundary

What is recorded here

The field boundary in Gortnagrelly is in County Sligo, Ireland. Two post-medieval fields remain there, with the first forming a roughly D-shaped area 17m north-south and 15m east-west, enclosed by a tumbled drystone wall 0.8-2.5m thick and 0.1-0.5m high. The second field lies 14m south, separated by a 5m wide north-south band of sandstone scree.
Indicated on the 1837 and 1913 editions of the OS 6-inch map. There are the remains of two apparently post-medieval fields at this location. This, the first field consists of a roughly D-shaped area (dims. 17m N-S; 15m E-W) enclosed by a tumbled drystone wall (T 0.8-2.5m; H 0.1-0.5m) of rubble sandstone. The W side of the field is almost straight and is orientated N-S. The second field is located 14m to the S (SL009-025001-). A 5m wide N-S orientated band of sandstone scree separates the two fields. The interior of both fields undulates irregularly. There is no evidence to indicate that these are features of any great antiquity. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 02 August 2012
