What is recorded here
Inch St. Lawrence North holds a ghost circle thirty-five metres wide, hidden beneath flat pasture but caught in 1986 aerial photography. The enclosure sits twenty-five metres west of the Pust South boundary, near a ringfort and other enclosures, yet resists modern satellite views. It may have been a dwelling, a shrine or a boundary marker for people whose names vanished before maps existed. The grass still covers what human hands shaped, waiting for someone to walk the circle and remember it belongs to them.
On flat pasture 25m W of the townland boundary with Pust South. Ringfort (LI014-123----) located 160m to NE, enclosures (LI023-133001/002-) located 200m to SW. The site is not depicted on historic OSi maps. Not visible on the OSi orthoimages. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 250 AP 4/3740) as an enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m). The site is identifiable as a roughly circular enclosure where the N, E and S side is visible; the W side is less obvious. The enclosure is not visible on most recent Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018 or on other Google Earth orthoimages.
