What is recorded here
Kinsaley is a lost circular enclosure in low-lying farmland near St Doulagh's Church, Dublin. A 1971 aerial photograph revealed a forty-metre cropmark, suggesting a ploughed-out ringfort that has vanished from the living landscape. The distinction between a humble enclosure and a fortified dwelling is no longer visible, leaving only shadow in the soil and a question about who once lived there.
Situated in low-lying tillage E of St Doulagh's Church (DU015-009001-). An aerial photograph taken in 1971 (FSI 403/2) shows a cropmark of a circular single-ditched enclosure (diam c. 40m). It may be a ploughed-out ringfort. Not visible at ground level.
