Field system in Treanscrabbagh is a field system in Treanscrabbagh, County Sligo, Ireland. It occupies rocky pasture on a west-facing slope in the Bricklieve Mountains beside a cashel. A ruinous discontinuous sod-covered boundary one point four metres wide and zero point six metres high touches the north side of the cashel, while a more continuous limestone and sandstone boundary one point two metres wide and zero point five metres high touches the south side. A passage tomb and two short cists lie about eighty metres east.
