What is recorded here

A seventy-foot ghost circle marks Frenchfort, its earth bank broken where modern hunger took stones. Lynch Athy recorded a seven-foot skeleton pulled from that soil, suggesting human bones still sleep beneath the grass. The fort is no longer a fort, only a wound in the field where memory leaks through.

In level grassland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 42.8m) defined by a bank of earth and stone, no visible surface trace of which survives from S to SE. Gaps at N and SW appear to be modern. According to Lynch Athy (1913-14, 136), a 'skeleton said to be 7 feet [2.1m] long' was found in the rath by a man quarrying for stones.
