What is recorded here

This field system run roughly E-W across the summit and eastern slope of the hill. It is clearly visible on Bing aerial photograph 2012, 26 November 2012. The hillside is heavily overgrown with ferns and gorse, however, the field boundaries visible on the aerial photograph are apparent on the ground as stone walls (Wth c. 1.8m; H 0.6-1m). There is an irregular field (dims. c. 100m N-S; c. 50m E-W) towards the northern end of the visible field system with an enclosure (WI042-029----) within it and another enclosure (WI042-048----) immediately W of it. There are a number of clearance cairns (WI042-028----) immediately W and SW of this irregular field, some are within a long E-W field (dims. c. 220m E-W; c. 30-40m N-S) which runs S of the irregular field. Other field walls are visible towards the top of the summit and on the eastern slope of the hill. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 November 2012
