What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballynamona (fore By.) stands at the south foot of the Lough Crew ridge in County Meath, a grass-covered circular or D-shaped measure about forty-five by thirty-five metres with a straight eastern edge. Liam Kenny first reported the site, preserving a shape that satellite images have repeated since at least 2009. The fort may have housed people, excluded horses, or marked a boundary now forgotten. Its clean line still cuts across the field, waiting for someone to remember why it was built.
