The National Monuments Service's description
Locating on a broad, flat expanse of heather- and sedge-covered blanket bog, bordered at E by the valley of the Buncrowey River and at W by a small stream valley. Old turf banks traverse the area. This record was not listed in the SMR (1989). It was listed in the RMP (1995) as ‘field wall -pre-bog’: the source of this record is unknown and there is no field report from the 1990’s on file. In the RMP (1995) the location was recorded as IG 140670 330660 (equating to ITM 540634 830667). This location as depicted on the 1913 OS 6-inch map is featureless and it is likely that the co-ordinates listed in the RMP (1995) were approximate only. An inspection was carried out in 2014. No trace of the field wall was found at the location of the RMP (1995) co-ordinates or elsewhere in this area. The location of the field wall remains unknown.
