Field system in Knockdoebeg West

Field system

What is recorded here

Knockdoebeg West holds a forgotten neighbourhood where low stone walls still mark rooms for living and keeping animals beside a rath. The measurements are modest, but the shape is human: a rectangular landscape broken into usable parts instead of empty moorland. Someone measured that slope, carried stone, and made a place where daily life could return each evening.
In pastureland on a very slight W-facing slope; immediately to the NNW of a rath (GA070-110001-). A series of poorly preserved earthen and stone field walls (Wth 2.85m; H 0.2-0.3m) are visible covering a roughly rectangular area c. 200m NE-SW by 180m ENE-WSW. The walls are generally linear with occasional kinks in places. Two house sites (GA070-110003- and GA070-110004-) and a hut site (GA070-110005-) may be associated. Natural rock outcrop occurs to the SE and clearance cairns are evident across whole area. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 24 February 2017
