What is recorded here
Not indicaetd is a nameless earthen ringfort on a north-facing slope in County Louth, its thirty-five-metre circle marked only by a faint cropmark and a missing south-western fosse. Anthony Murphy first reported the ghostly shape, preserving a boundary that ordinary sight still refuses to accept. The fort may have housed humans, gods or forgotten experiments, yet it remains a vivid absence: a circle complete enough to imagine, but incomplete enough to warn.
Situated on a N-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible only on Google Earth (29/06/2018), but the fosse appears to be absent S-W. It was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
