What is recorded here

Ballybrown holds a semi-circle of stones twenty-two metres from Lisgoura Fort, clear enough on satellite images to suggest human hands rather than random geology. The grassland hides the pattern from casual walkers, yet the stones still mark a boundary or gathering place beneath ordinary pasture. Whatever they measured or remembered, they survived ploughing and time to wait beside a fort no longer fully understood.
In grassland, Lisgoura Fort (LI037-010----) 220m to W. Anomalous stone group forming a semi-circular shaped pattern which appears to be made by humans rather than a natural geological feature visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-13 and on earlier OSi orthophotos.
