What is recorded here
Lisgoogan holds irregular fields beside a cashel, embedded in a three-kilimetre strip reaching from Corkscrew Hill to Poulnbrone. The Burren uplands are scattered with such prehistoric and medieval boundaries, suggesting that people shaped this rocky landscape for generations before modern memory. Some lines may still hide beneath scrub, waiting for rain or light to reveal them.
A number of irregular fields associated with a cashel (CL005-123001-). This is part of an extensive field system (CL005-227004-) stretching c. 3km N-S from just E of Corkscrew Hill S as far as Poulnbrone. Field systems with prehistoric and medieval elements extend over most of the Burren uplands. Those currently visible on aerial or satellite imagery are outlined for mapping purposes but it is likely that they continue under scrub and meet in certain areas.
