What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Srowland is a rath on a low ridge in County Kildare, Ireland. Its circular shadow still appears in aerial pictures, with a narrower inner line and a D-shaped attachment at the north west. People may have lived there, herded animals there, or simply avoided it because fairy forts do not like being entered without invitation.

On a low narrow ridge, in tillage. Visible on a 1970 aerial photograph (CUCAP BDO 44) as the cropmark of a circular area (est. diam. c. 45m) defined by two closely spaced fosses, the inner very narrow, with a D-shaped annexe or field (KD035-004002-) attached at NW (est. L c. 30m NE-SW). The enclosure is visible as a very slight rise on level ground while the attached annexe/field lies at the top of a very gentle SW slope.
