What is recorded here

Field system in Toomona is a field system in Toomona, County Roscommon, Ireland. A broad east-west pasture ridge holds three relict field banks, each about five hundred metres long and spaced one hundred metres apart. The rath RO022-102001- sits within this later arrangement of large rectangular fields. The banks disappeared from ground level but remain visible on aerial photographs.
