Ecclesiastical enclosure in Belan — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Belan Church and graveyard sit beside a faint 150m circular shadow in the Kildare field, perhaps an old ecclesiastical enclosure with three ditches. The land has kept that shape through rain, plough and forgetfulness, while people came and went above it. What was kept inside may have been prayer, provision or simply the boundary between the sacred and the ordinary.
