In gently undulating pasture immediately N of the townland boundary with Liffane. Not depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map or the 1897 OS 25-inch map, where rock outcrop is indicated in the area. Earthworks possibly of a field system of uncertain antiquity identified from oblique aerial photographs taken 20/07/1968 (CUCAP AVS094-096). On these aerial shots a series of linear terrracing is visible running across the fields which may be the remains of artificial terracing or could be the result of natural rock outcrop. Surveyed by the ASI in 2007 and described as general area covered in natural outcropping rock with no surface remains of any linear earthworks representative of a field system. Local tradition of circular features and linear banks levelled in the course of field clearance c. 1987 (SMR File). Faint cropmarks visible on Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/10/2010.
See attached CUCAP aerial images taken 20/07/1968 and Google Earth orthoimage taken 20/10/2010
