Place & story
Cropmarks in cultivated ground
A National Monuments Service record added in 2022 identifies a possible field system in a cultivated field at Irishtown. The record describes a substantial group of roughly rectangular and rounded cropmarks on aerial imagery, with fainter traces visible in a Google Earth image dated 24 June 2018. These are recorded as a possible field system; the account does not provide an excavation date or establish when the boundaries were made. [2]
