Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Friarspark, County Meath: a circular earthworks, about thirty metres across, with a ditch two to three metres wide. It sits on level ground, visible only when crops grow unevenly across the old ditch. People may have lived there, or excluded them, or simply marked the boundary between the known field and the unseen one.
Located on what is probably a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018; 14/07/2018). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere. See the attached image from Google Earth 14/07/2018 Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 June 2019
