What is recorded here
Realogue holds a hidden ringfort, its earthworks erased from ordinary sight but preserved inside Lidar data. The fortress may have sheltered people, stored grain or marked a boundary before forgetting took it. Its absence becomes a room where imagination builds doors, chambers and fires without evidence to correct the shape.
This possible ringfort was identified on Lidar (pers. comm. Dr Stephen Davis, UCD School of Archaeology).
