Earthwork in Ballyneety North

Earthwork

What is recorded here

Ballyneety North holds a ghost circle forty-five metres west of the Treamnanagh boundary road, waiting for rain to reveal its edges. The earthwork faces a ringfort eighty-five metres southeast, suggesting two ancient neighbours still talking across improved pasture. It vanished from modern satellite views but resisted forgetting long enough for aerial cameras to catch its shadow.
In improved pasture 45m W of roadway that marks townland boundary with Treamnanagh. Ringfort (LI033-038----) lies 85m to SE. Not depicted on the historic OSi maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 77; AP 4/3626) as an earthwork. Visible as a roughly circular-shaped area of dark vegetation on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12. No surface remains visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimages and Bruff image showing monument labelled Bruff 77 Compiled by: Martin Fitzpatrick Date of upload: 12 April 2021
