Drone footage shows moment of discovery of medieval ringfort in Ireland's Boyne Valley

This is drone footage shot by Anthony Murphy at the moment of his discovery of a 45m-diameter medieval ringfort high above the banks of the river Boyne close to Slane and the Brú na Bóinne megalithic complex. The circular cropmark discovered near the River Boyne in August 2020 has been added to the database of National Monuments. It has been classified as a ringfort or rath and is located at Fennor, in Duleek Lower Barony, and is described as follows: "Situated on a rise on a N-facing slope, c. 250m S of a NW-SE section of the River Boyne. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 37-40m) was recorded by Anthony Murphy using a drone-mounted camera during August 2020. It is defined by the positive cropmark of an earthen bank (Wth c. 2-4m) and there is an entrance (Wth c. 5m) at ESE." It is located in a beautiful part of the Boyne Valley, just 3.5km (2.2 miles) west of Newgrange, and occupies high ground overlooking a very beautiful portion of the Boyne Valley between Slane and the Bend of the Boyne / Brú na Bóinne complex. The inhabitants of this ringfort (they are usually dated to c. 600-900AD) would have had beautiful views west along the Boyne towards Slane, and eastwards towards the megalithic complex of Knowth.
