The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3m) defined by traces of a wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) which consist of a double row of contiguous upright slabs that protrude above the surface of the bog. The level interior is raised (H 0.15m) at the S and cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the N to compensate for the slope.

• CO092-075001 Field boundary
  Description

  In rough hill grazing, on a terrace on the S-facing slopes of the Shehy Mountains. A network of both linear and curvilinear, relict, stone field boundaries (T 0.5m; max. H 0.6m) occur in a roughly rectangular area (c. 150m E-W; c 110m N-S). The boundaries protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and consist mainly of a mixture of upright, leaning and fallen slab-type stones. An enclosure (CO092-075002-) and six hut sites (CO092-075003-, CO092-075004-, CO092-075005-, CO092-075006-, CO092-075007-, CO092-075008-) occur within the field boundary network.

• CO092-089 Field boundary
  Description

  This c. 200m of relict field boundary runs from high on a ridge in the Shehy Mountains down slope to the southeast where it ends at the edge of an area of deep bog. It also forms part of a townland boundary between Ballynamought to the west and Coomclogh to the east. It survives to a maximum height of c.0.6m and is mostly built of dry-stone walling with a more squared face on the western side. In places it is covered in a thin layer of turf and one stretch seems to have been built of earth only. It runs c.25m to the west of a hut site and crosses a small gully of drier land where it has been partially rebuilt. Compiled by: Tony Miller Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2022

• CO092-090 Field boundary
  Description

There is a 2m wide gap in the boundary c two thirds of the way uphill. It would also appear to extend further to the south into an area of partially improved grazing.
