What is recorded here

West Cork marsh swallowed the circular enclosure marked on the 1842 survey, leaving only a triangular wet area bounded by 1.5m stone walls. The site sits on a NE-facing slope beside ringfort CO151-008---, where water has erased the shape drawn by earlier mappers. Whatever lived inside that circle now drifts under reeds and rain, remembered only through the stones still standing at its edge.
