Enclosure in Blanchvillespark — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Blanchvillespark holds a sixty-metre circular enclosure cut by modern field boundaries, lying beside a medieval church and graveyard in County Kilkenny. The completed ring may have marked a dwelling, shrine or gathering place before ploughing and fencing broke its shape. People may have walked past that hidden circle for centuries, reading only the church, the grave and the changing colour of the crop above it.

In tillage. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 60m) identified as a cropmark on Google Earth Pro imagery (imagery date 14 July 2018) by Jean-Charles Caillère and Simon Dowling. The enclosure is truncated along the edge of the NE quadrant by a field boundary running NNW-SSE. Another field boundary running NNE-SSW before turning up towards the NW in the W quadrant, crosses the S portion of the enclosure. A medieval church (KK020-025001-) and graveyard (KK020-025002-) are located c. 200m to the SE.
