What is recorded here

Located on wasteland within the Dublin Airport Logistics Park. Previously a golf course. A series of aerial photographs taken after site destruction (BDR 27, BDQ 65, BGM, 70, AVS 38, 37) shows detailed cropmark evidence for two distinct building phases on the site. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) with field system attached to the west appears to pre-date the ringfort (DU014-006001-) levelled in 1953 (Stout and Stout 1992, 5-14).
