Fairy fort / ringfort in Killeen — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Killeen Castle Demesne holds a circular double-ditched ringfort where an inner trench encloses twenty-nine metres and an outer trench reaches fifty-five metres across. People dug those sharp boundaries before golf carts rolled past the burial site nearby, creating a private chamber large enough for a family or small troop. The earth still keeps the shape of that choice even though no vessel or bone has emerged to name the hands that dug it.

This monument was identified by geophysical survey (Licence no. 05R030Ext) and confirmed by test excavation (Licence no. 05E0415) undertaken within Killeen Castle Demesne in advance of golf course development. Located c.150m east of burial and habitation site (ME038-045----), the site consists of a circular double-ditched enclosure. The inner ditch (Wth 2.2m) encloses an area (diam. c. 29m) while the outer ditch (Wth 4m) encloses a wider area (diam. 55m). There is considerable activity internally. While no diagnostic material was retrieved the morphology suggests this is a bivallate ringfort (Baker 2009, 31). It is associated with a field system (ME038-044002-).
