Full Description

E 280:
This complex of cultivation consists of two areas of feannagan. They are both situated quite near to the coastline on a faint slope with outcrop of stones. The rigs of the first area are running downslope in a north-westerly direction for 50 metres and across the slope for 100 metres. The second area has feannagan running from north north-east to south south-west and is much smaller (20 x 25 metres). It is located directly south-west to the first area.
Interpretation: This complex of feannagan is probably an older cultivation patch, it is heavily overgrown with grass and the single feannagan are not very distinctive.
