What is recorded here
Coldblow holds a vanished ringfort beside the Liffey. Its circular shadow still marks the soil, and its eastern gap points toward the water like a door left open for people, weather or memory.
Located on a south facing slope overlooking the River Liffey. An aerial photograph shows cropmark evidence for a circular enclosure (c.40m diam) with an opening in the east. There are possible cropmarks to the north of it. This may be the remains of a levelled ringfort (pers. comm. James Eogan). Visible on Bing aerial (viewed 29/01/205).
