What is recorded here
Enclosure in Platin is a circular ditch, twenty-five to thirty metres across, hidden beneath ordinary farmland in County Meath. Tom Condit first saw the faint shadow in satellite imagery, proving that level ground can still preserve what humanity forgot. The shape may be a rath, a boundary drawn during centuries when people measured worth in exclusions rather than sharing.
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25-30m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (2013) and on the Bing images (2013). It may be a rath and the enclosure (ME020-087----) is c. 180m to the S. Itwas first identified by Tom Condit.
