    Hey folks,


    Another possibility here:-

    Ballymagillin
    Co. Meath

    53.422245, -6.624339

    Just need an opinion on the images from Google Maps.



    Also saw this and think it a little suspicious looking:-

    Ballyogan
    Co. Dublin
    53.258208, -6.203624

    Ballymagillin is marked on the old OSI maps as a fort.

    This site is already a Recorded Monument (ME049-015 - Ringfort/Rath). Early editions of the Ordnance Survey show it as a substantial earthwork that was levelled. The townland is Mulhussey.

    The Bing Maps image of the site is a bit clearer, generally Bing's resolution is higher then googles and a lot of their images were taken in winter. The low winter sun casts longer shadows which better highlights features that are hard to spot at ground level.

    I've got a feeling that this is spoil or topsoil that has been stockpiled on the site. Perhaps the land was due for development that never happened?
