What is recorded here

Thirty metres south of a house and sixty west of a stream, a forgotten circle holds its shape in reclaimed pasture. It sits between two other ancient marks on a north-west line, yet no human hand ever drew it on a map. The earth still remembers the boundary, preserving a small life that official records refused to see.
In reclaimed pasture 60m W of stream and 250m S of Ballyneety House. One of three monuments aligned on a NW-SE axis. Ringfort (LI033-039001-) to immediate NE and enclosure (LI033-104----) to immediate SW. Not depicted on any OSi 6-inch maps. Surveyed by the ASI in 2007 and described as a slightly raised circular-shaped area (diam. 14m) enclosed by a bank (Wth 5.7m; H 0.2m; ext. H 0.5m) from S-NE and reduced a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m) elsewhere, with fosse (Wth 6.1m; D 0.2m) best preserved from NW-W and ESE-SE; outer bank (Wth 5.15m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.15m) visible at NW and ESE. Monument intersected at S by field boundary running E-W and at N by drainage ditch running N-S. Outline of monument visible in centre of three earthworks on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12 and on Google Earth orthoimage dated 18/11/2018.
