Full Description

E 358:
These feannagan are situated on the eastern side of the small stream Ahainn Dubh, which runs at that point in a south-westerly direction. The soil is now quite wet in the valley where the cultivation area is placed. The rigs are running in a south-easterly direction for 20 metres, the field is 60 metres wide.
Interpretation: This cultivation area is as well as E 357 quite far away from any house. This area must have been chosen by the families for its good soil quality.
