Are the stone field boundaries contemporaneous with the ring fort or are they later?

Visited here a few years back. It is on Inishmore in the Aran Islands, off of Ireland’s west coast. If you’re ever touring the West Country, I’d highly recommend it. Inishmore is beautiful and one of the few places where people still speak Gaelic in regular conversation.
Even more impressive is Dun Aengus, right up the road, which is chopped in half by a sea cliff.
