Enclosure in Dalystown Demesne — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Dalystown Demesne holds a ghost circle on a north-facing Galway slope, wide enough to walk twice around before returning to the starting point. The grass erases the earthworks, yet shadow and light still trace the subcircular line in the sky. It may be an abandoned rath or a forgotten boundary for Dalystown House, preserving the shape of a relationship between people and land long after the walls disappeared.

On a N-facing slope in pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 47m E-W; c. 44m N-S). No visible surface trace survives. However, its outline is visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph. Possibly a rath or a landscape feature associated with Dalystown House which lies c. 325m to the SSE.
