What is recorded here

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Faghbane: A circular enclosure, about 20m across, lies hidden in level pasture east of Killarney. It appears only as a cropmark in an aerial photograph from 1989, not on the ground. The Flesk River flows 450m to the north. What is invisible to feet may still be readable by light.
