What is recorded here

A number of mound walls, one of which extends E-W and abuts the portal tomb at Poulnabrone (CL009-034001-) form a prehistoric field system visible on Digital Globe (2011-13) and on OSi Aerial Premium orthophotographs (2012-2018). This is in turn part of an extensive field system stretching N as far as Corkscrew Hill. 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.
