What is recorded here

Harristown is a hidden place beneath a modern airport, not a visible ruin. That is why it is interesting. The idea is a human dwelling buried under a busy modern surface. Whether the enclosure still exists under the runway is unknown.
Situated in low-lying pasture. A roughly circular single ditched enclosure (diam. c. 35m) appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph taken in 1971 (FSI 462/1). This may be a levelled ringfort. It is under the Dublin Airport runway.Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
