Fairy fort / ringfort in Windgates

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

A circular enclosure, roughly 39m across, is visible as a cropmark in Windgates, County Kildare, Ireland. The soil and vegetation reveal its shape, while the earth keeps the rest. People may have lived, hidden, marked territory or simply let the field breathe around that circle. The land still holds the shape of their choices.
