What is recorded here
Enclosure in Simmonstown, County Kildare, Ireland: a possible circular enclosure, visible only as a cropmark on aerial photography, buried beneath level pasture in a working stud farm. No wall, ditch or stone remains for hands to touch. The horse farm breathes above it, hooves drumming the grass each day, while the old circle waits beneath, patient and unseen.
Visible on a GSI aerial photograph (W 467-6) as the cropmark of a possible circular enclosure. On level pasture in a stud farm c. 100m N of a castle (KD011-016----) and c. 250m NE of a possible earthwork site (KD011-029----). No visible surface traces survive.
