What is recorded here
Indicated is a lost fairy fort in County Kildare, a circular bank about twenty-six metres across that vanished completely from the pasture. It exists only through a old survey line and human memory, not a ridge of soil. The land claims back what people shape, erasing the border between made and natural.
In improved level pasture. Shown on the OS 25-inch map as a circular area (est. int. diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a bank. No visible surface trace survives.
