Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Piercetown (deece Upper)

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Edward O’Regan identified a ghostly ring in the Piercetown fields where a wide ditch still cuts through the land. The missing entrance and straight field drain suggest the fort surrendered its shape to human convenience, yet the circular memory remains visible when crops grow unevenly.
Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a subcircular area (diam. c. 35-40m) defined by a single wide fosse feature (Wth c. 3-4m) is visible on Google Earth (28/06/2018). No entrance is visible and the fosse is incorporated in a relict NNE-SSW field drain visible as a cropmark. It was first reported by Edward O’Regan.
