What is recorded here

An extensive field system (c. 2.1km N-S; c. 1.8km E-W) on an upland plateau visible intermittently on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and on OSi Aerial Premium (2012-2018) in an area of exposed karst and some scrub cover. The fields are very irregular and some are associated with cashels (of which there are 11 in the area) and a number of enclosures. Some parts of the field system may have prehistoric elements given the presence of burial cairns including Poulawack (CL009-032002-), a ring-cairn (CL009-065----) and a wedge tomb (CL009-067----). Extensive 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.
