• CL035-151 Field boundary
  Description

  On low-lying ground, in very uneven and undulating pasture. There are ridges and rises of natural limestone rock outcrop evident across this field and that to W. Depicted on the 25-inch OS map as rock outcrop. A series of intermittent and irregular linear and curvilinear features which appear to consist of grass and sod-covered stone. This appears to be naturally occurring stone ridges and rises rather than man-made walls. These natural formations seem to have been disturbed in antiquity by quarrying activities and together present as the features seen on modern aerial photography. For example, at the northern end of this area there is a large, low rise of limestone rock outcrop which has been quarried along the western side to form an irregular scarp (Wth 2.75m; H 0.6m) which occasionally appears regular. There is a linear feature (long axis E-W) to S which appears bank-like (Wth 4.4m; H max. 0.4m). A sinuous feature is located (long axis E-W) across the southern area and appears ‘bank-like’. There are many pockets of what appear to be quarrying test-pits and other larger and deeper pockets of quarrying. There are other levelled out/cleared areas defined by ‘banks’ suggesting that some of these ‘banks’ may be residual quarry material. There is a possibility that some of these features may prove to be sod-covered field walls, however this is inconclusive without excavation. Identified by the North Munster Project of the Discovery Programme in 2001. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-151----_01.jpg From NW.
