What is recorded here

In dry hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen. Traces of mainly grass-covered, collapsed, curvilinear stone walls (T 0.6m; H 0.6m) suggest fields of many shapes and sizes throughout area c. 340m E-W x 420m N-S. Numerous gaps were noted in the walls. There are occasional patches of shallow bog in this area. Two enclosures (KE103-016016-, KE103-016021-) and seventeen hut sites (KE103-016002-, KE103-016003-, KE103-016004-, KE103-016005-, KE103-016006-, KE103-016007-, KE103-016008-, KE103-016009-, KE103-016010-, KE103-016011-, KE103-016012-, KE103-016013-, KE103-016014-, KE103-016015-, KE103-016018-, KE103-016019-, KE103-016020-) are within the field system.
