Field system, Cleenagh, Co. Donegal
Like countless other ancient field boundaries scattered across the Irish landscape, these remnants offer glimpses into how our ancestors organised and worked the land, potentially dating back thousands of years.
Field systems like the one at Cleenagh tell the story of Ireland’s agricultural past; stone walls and earthen boundaries that once divided grazing lands, crop fields, and settlements. These landscapes, often overlooked by casual observers, preserve the patterns of ancient farming communities who shaped the countryside long before modern maps were drawn.
