Fairy fort / ringfort in Rowans Big

Fairy fort / ringfort

What is recorded here

Fairy fort in Rowans Big: a hidden ring under Dublin farmland, caught only in a 1972 aerial photograph. The field may have swallowed its marker, yet the camera recovered the shape: a small circle with a gap where life could enter.
Situated on a gentle E-facing slope under tillage west of the M1. An aerial photograph taken in 1972 (FSI 4.507/8) shows a roughly circular cropmark (diam. c. 20m) of an enclosure with an opening in the SW quadrant. Not visible at ground level.
