Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Magic circles in the fields of Louth. Drop a pin, turn off the internet, walk the ring twice and ask one question. The soil answers in dreams, not words. Be kind to the field and it is kind back.

The cropmark of a subcircular enclosure (int. dims c. 41m NW-SE; c. 36m NE-SW) defined by a slight fosse separated by the parch mark of a bank (Wth c. 3-4m) from an outer wider fosse (ext. diam. c. 53m NW-SE; c. 46m NE-SW) is visible only on Apple Maps.
