What is recorded here

Apple Maps now reveals a perfect 50m circle cut into the steep slope above the Boyne, its thin fosse and northern entrance waiting for feet that stopped walking centuries ago. The rath sits seventy-five metres southwest, suggesting two separate rooms for one valley rather than a single crowded hall. Matthew Mullen-Reynolds first named what the ground had kept hidden, while Bluesky International’s 2018 survey gave the ghost a measurable shape.

Situated at the crest of a steep N-facing slope down to the W-E River Boyne at Brú na Bóinne, with the river c. 270m to the N. The cropmark of a perfectly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature (Wth c. 2-3m) is visible on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. It has an entrance (Wth c. 5m) at N. The rath (ME026-022----) is c. 75m to the SW. It was first identified by Matthew Mullen-Reynolds.
