Field boundary in Rodeen

In rough hill pasture, in cutaway bog, on the lower W-facing slopes of Maulin. Turf-cutting has exposed a curvilinear, relict, stone field boundary (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) which extends in a general E-W direction for a distance of c. 50m. Sections along the E half of the relict wall, which are situated on level ground, run into uncut bog. While on the downsloping, uncut, W half, some stones of the relict field boundary protrude above the surface of the bog.
