What is recorded here

Five tiny terraces still hold their shape on the sheltered south side of the valley mouth, each no larger than a room and separated by banks so low they may have been made by shovels rather than years. The flat rectangular strip suggests people laid out living space deliberately, perhaps for a season or a generation, before the grass and rain softened every angle into a whisper. What is certain is that the ground remembers a boundary; what is missing is the name of the hands that drew it.

On the sheltered S-side of the mouth (W-end) of a small, E-W valley (Wth c. 30m). Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A rectangular area (dims. L c. 80m E-W; Wth c. 10m) contains a series of slight terraces (dims. L c. 10m; Wth c. 10m) defined on their N and W sides by very low earthen banks (Wth 2-3m; H 0.05m). Faint mounding is visible within these features. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
