Field system in Stephenstown — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Clear in 2003 and gone from the sky view by 2019, the Stephenstown field system kept its angles inside pasture near the Morningstar River. Six barrows sit at one edge, while straight shadows cross the grass in both directions. The land may have supported a small lost settlement before pasture took it back.

In reclaimed pasture N of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Ballinvana and 350m W of the Morningstar River. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified as a possible deserted settlement (Strip Map 4 site 4/28) consisting of rectangular enclosures and field system during examination of Bórd Gáis Éireann Curraleigh West-Limerick gas pipeline aerial photographs (BGE 1/5000 2562; Site No. 040098) taken 03/11/1984. A cluster of 6 barrows (LI040-10006/012-) are located in S quadrant of field system. Visible as a pattern of linear cropmarks running N-S and E-W on aerial photograph (ASIAP (344) 16) taken 05/01/2003 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 04/04/2013. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 14/09/2019. See attached Bórd Gáis Éireann aerial photograph, ASIAP aerial image (344 (16) and Google Earth orthoimages.
