What is recorded here

Apple Maps reveals a ghost rectangle on a gentle Meath slope, cut in two by an ordinary field bank yet still shadowed by a forgotten fosse. The enclosure faces the sun, sits near an old rath, and hovers above a buried river channel, suggesting human hands shaped the land before memory faded. Anthony Murphy first pointed it out, preserving a brief glimpse of what the soil still remembers.
Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a subrectangular enclosure (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) defined by a slight fosse feature is visible only on Apple maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Blue Sky International during June 2018. It cut in two by a NW-SE field bank with the greater part SW of that feature. Rath (ME017-063----) is c. 50m to the NW, and a palaeo-channel of the River Blackwater is visible c. 40m the SE on OSI images (1995). The enclosure was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
