What is recorded here

Half a kilometre east of the Mungret River, a shallow circle of soil once held a home, a pen or a boundary now lost beneath pasture and rain. The ringfort nearby still stands, but this smaller mark has faded until only shadow and memory remain. What it enclosed is no longer certain, yet the land keeps the shape of human intention even when witness and name have gone.

In improved pasture 130m W of a watercourse that marks the townland boundary with Ballinrea. Ringfort (LI039-033----) lies 250m to NE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Identified by Bruff aerial photographic survey in 1986 (Bruff 32; AP 5/2063) as a possible enclosure. No surface remains visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-12. Faint traces of cropmark of small circular feature visible on Google Earth orthoimages. See attached Bruff aerial photographs (32) and Google Earth orthoimages.
