What is recorded here
Beaumont (duleek Upper By.) holds a circular earthen ringfort with an east-facing entrance, buried beneath farmland but still visible in cropmarks. The fossilised shape suggests people once drew a boundary around their lives, leaving a hollow that plants reveal when stress touches the soil.
Aerial photograph (GB89.N.06) shows cropmark of a circular enclosure defined by a fosse, with entrance facing east. It is also visible on the OSI series of aerial images (1995).
