What is recorded here

Field system in Rathnallog is a field system in Rathnallog, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a broad plateau where relict banks about two to three metres wide and half a metre high divide the land into large northeastern fields and three smaller western plots. One bank joins the northeastern edge of the local rath, linking the ancient enclosure to the surrounding agricultural pattern.
On a broad plateau. An area of c. 5 ha (c. 12 acres) contains relict field banks (Wth c. 2-3m; H c. 0.5m), one of which is incorporated into the bank of rath (RO021-054----) at NE. They create some large fields to the NE whose outer limits cannot be determined, and three small plots (dims c. 30-40m x c. 15-20m) running W from the rath.
