What is recorded here
Marfagh holds extensive field walls across the western hill face, east of a possible prehistoric stone enclosure. The irregular boundaries remain sharp enough to trace, marking repeated human labour in soil that never stopped moving. Two clearance cairns still stand where stones were lifted from the fields, preserving the brute effort behind every visible line.
Extensive remains of a large field system of unknown date. There are two field clearance cairns (DG015-031001/003-) associated with this field system and a stone enclosure (DG015-031) of possible prehistoric date. The field walls are well preserved in places and form large irregular shaped fields many of which can still be traced running across the W face of the hills to the E of the stone enclosure (DG015-031).
