What is recorded here

First identified in an unpublished archaeological LiDAR report (Davis, 2015) commissioned by Roscommon County Council as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment for the N5 Ballaghaderreen - Scramoge road development. It is located on a SW-facing slope. An area of about 4.5 ha (c. 11 acres) contains field banks of a regular form (Wth 2-2.7m; H 0.2-0.35m) with no accompanying ditches. The banks form small, rectangular or irregularly-shaped fields or paddocks (dims c. 30m x 10m to c. 70m x 30m) with no evidence of lazy-bed cultivation. There is one possible house (dims 14m NE-SW; c. 5m NW-SE) defined by earthen banks at the centre of a cluster of smaller paddocks towards the SE end of the fields, and there may be shallow quarrying at the N end of the area.
