Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moneen East

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Moneen East holds a subcircular rath thirty-six metres across, buried beneath pastureland yet still visible as a faint shadow in satellite imagery. Jean-Charles Caillère identified the ghostly ring and linked it to a possible underground passage, suggesting the earth itself remembers shapes human hands forgot. The fort does not demand admiration; it waits for curiosity, hiding in plain sight above fields that have long stopped asking what they cover.
In pastureland. A cropmark of this possible subcircular rath (c. 36m NW-SE; c. 34m NE-SW) is visible on Google Earth satellite imagery (© Google Earth, imagery dated 7/3/2018). It was identified and reported to the Survey by Jean-Charles Caillère. A possible Man-made underground passage (GA114-121----) is associated.
