What is recorded here

Indicated is a walled garden in Toberavaddy, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a subrectangular area roughly one hundred metres across on a slight south-west-facing slope above the River Suck flood-plain. Masonry walls up to two and three-quarter metres high define the space just north-west of the fortified house. The south-west wall contains narrow lights looking into the garden and extends eight hundred metres north-west as a substantial field boundary.
