In rough hill pasture, on cutaway bog, on the N-facing slopes of Dursey Island. Turf-cutting has exposed a series of collapsed, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.5m; H 0.4m) extending in a general NW-SE direction from a cliff-top up along the side of the hillslope for a distance of c. 170m. The relict boundaries are set on the underlying mineral soil. At intermittent intervals some material from the relict boundaries has been used to construct rectangular turf stands for stacking turf. These latter structures are now abandoned.
