What is recorded here

Kilteely Hill stands 580 feet above the plain, keeping a circular enclosure twenty-five metres wide in pasture beside its summit. The bank resists easy explanation, yet it faces a fair green and a church, suggesting people gathered there before maps learned to draw it. Airborne cameras revealed what boots and hedges had hidden, proving the hill still holds a shape worthy of attention.
