Fairy fort / ringfort in Hobartstown West

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Hobartstown West, County Kildare. Aerial photographs reveal a circular fosse, perhaps a forgotten ringfort or barrow, still visible through the soil. Whether it marked a boundary, a burial, or a home, the shape survived every plough and storm that passed it. The land kept the line while human memory faded, proving that even abandoned places resist erasure when their form is strong enough.
Aerial photographs (CUCAP ASU 61, 62) show a cropmark of a fosse of circular enclosure (est. max diam. c. 40m). Possibly barrow or ringfort. Date of upload: 15 September 2016

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
