What is recorded here
Indicated was a platform ringfort about fifty metres across, set on level grassland in County Dublin before airport works cut through its southeastern quadrant. It still exists as a crop mark, a ghost line in the soil that refuses to disappear even when human ambition paves over part of it. The fort may have hosted rituals, warnings or quiet resistance, but its shape endures because the land remembers what power tries to erase.
Situated on level grassland. This site was formerly a platform type ringfort (diam. c. 50m) with a waterlogged external fosse (Healy 1975, 23). It's southeastern quadrant has been truncated by works associated with Dublin airport but the majority of the ringfort is visible as a crop mark on the Bird'sEye viewer of Bing.
