What is recorded here
Indicated is a low earthen ringfort on an east-facing pasture slope in County Kildare, its forty-four-metre circle rising slightly toward the centre. The bank is thin, barely forty centimetres high inside, yet it still marks the edge of a place where people once drew a line between themselves and the open field. No entrance or ditch remains visible, only the gentle swell of soil and the memory of a boundary reused for later pasture.
On an E-facing pasture slope. A roughly circular area (diam. 44.2m), which rises slightly towards the centre, is defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.2-0.4m; Wth 1m; ext. H 1m), reused as a later field boundary SSW-W-NNW. No visible trace of a fosse or entrance survives. Visible on a 2010 OSi Orthophoto.
