No. Of rings. Five metres wide. Two deep. U shaped or V shaped. Beech trees likely. Grazing kept out. Design yes. Memory no. House removed. Ring remains. Aerial photo still shows it. Ground hides it. People walk across it. Forgetting is the point. Design needs witness. Witness left. Ring continues. Measure the hole. Judge the years.
Described by Paddy Healy in a report by An Foras Forbartha for Dublin County Council in 1983 as a possible ringfort. This was since assessed and considered to be a tree ring.
