Fairy fort / ringfort in Realtoge

Fairy fort / ringfort

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). Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 15/03/2012
