What is recorded here
Enclosure in Astee West, County Kerry: a faint square outline between two ringforts, visible on a 2020 satellite image and logged in 2021. It may be ancient, or it may be a field boundary made after 1700 when people reclaimed land. Either way, the earth kept a shape, and the shape still asks to be seen.
Faint outline of possible square-shaped enclosure located between two ringforts (KE002-054/052----) visible on Google earth orthoimage taken 20/03/2020, may be the result of post-1700 land reclamation rather than the remains of an antiquity.
