Full Description

E 291:
Situated on a faint slope, these feannagan are running for 12 metres across the slope in a south-westerly direction. The area is 40 metres wide and covered with long grass. The cultivation patch is located near to a stone outcrop, in a now partly very wet small stream valley.
Interpretation: Probably this area of feannagan was once used by the inhabitants of the blackhouse E 292, which stands quite near (40 metres to the north).
