What is recorded here

Enclosure in Wyestown is a vanished ringfort buried under farm soil in County Dublin. A 1972 aerial photograph caught its double ditch marking the growth of crops above the hidden ditches, revealing a sixty-metre circle that ground-level walks still miss. The land may have swallowed a old home, yet the sky still records the shape of what disappeared.
Situated on a S-facing slope under tillage. An aerial photograph taken in 1972 (FSI 4.595/4) shows a cropmark of a double-ditched enclosure (ext. diam. c. 60m). This is probably a levelled ringfort. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 28 November 2014
