What is recorded here

In improved pasture. Aerial photographs taken in 1960s (St Joseph Collection, AVT5 & AVT9) show a possible field system in a substantial sub-rectangular area (dims. c. 450m ENE-WSW; c. 650m NNW-SSE). There was no evident surface trace of this system when the area was inspected except for some slight undulations toward existing E field boundary that have no discernible pattern. Curvilinear coppice, depicted on current edition OS 6-inch map, now evident as an area of rock outcrop. Field boundary defining N-side of general area has been removed; wide earthen field boundary (Wth 5.6m; H 1.45m) aligned with mature trees and outer drain (Wth 6.25m; D 2.05m) forms E-side; third class road (Wth 5.2m) orientated ENE-WSW flanks S-side; townland boundary defines W-side. Tower house (LI022-108----) adjoins the area to W; church (LI022-109001-) and graveyard (LI022-109002-) c. 100m to W. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 20 November 2011
