It does not enclose anything obvious, lead anywhere obvious, or connect to any surviving structure. It is, on paper, a field boundary, but the circumstances of its survival are what give it quiet weight.

The wall, oriented roughly north-north-west to south-south-east, stands only about 0.4 metres high and is 0.7 metres thick. It extends some 40 metres before curving another 20 metres to the north-east, where the uncut bog swallows it. The section begins near a meandering stretch of the Dromoghty River, on an east-facing slope that would once have looked out over workable ground. Cutaway bog, as the name suggests, is land from which the upper layers of peat have already been removed, usually through industrial or domestic turf-cutting. That process of removal is precisely what allowed this wall to reappear at all. Beneath the accumulated peat that had covered and protected it for centuries, the stonework was waiting. How old it is, and what it once divided or contained, the surviving record does not say.
