The National Monuments Service's description
This relict field boundary was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on the 10th of December 2014. He describes it as follows: "A relict field boundary running roughly north-south in an area of rough mountain grazing and bog. It is c. 200m in length and skirts the bottom of a rounded hill of drier ground rising to the east while it is wetter and boggier to the west. A single line of field stones protrude from the turf and a single stone standing upright and higher than the rest possibly marks a gap in the boundary.''
