Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated in a small SW-NE fold in a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular or D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 45m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) defined by a single fosse and with the straight side at SE is visible only on Google Earth (21/07/2021). The fosse at SE is the slightest and there may be a wide gap (Wth c. 15m) here. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy, and was also recorded on a digital image captured with a drone-mounted camera by Colin Byrne on 21/07/2021.
