Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Morristownbiller, County Kildare: an oval shadow in the soil, forty metres across, with a possible field system beside it. People may have lived there, loved there, forgotten there. The earth kept the shape while memory left. What is missing is not the wall but the witness.
Cropmark of roughly oval-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 40m NE-SW, 30m N-S) with possible field system visible on Google earth aerial imagery. See attached image taken from Google Earth aerial photographs taken 28/06/2018 Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien based on details provided by Jean-Charles Caillère Date of upload: 28 May 2019
