COUNTY TIPPERARY, IRELAND—Tipperary Live reports that a previously unidentified circular enclosure and a tree line following the curvature of the mark was spotted on satellite imagery of land in southern Ireland by volunteer map contributor Anne-Karoline Distel, who alerted Ireland’s National Monuments Service. Jean Farrelly of the National Monuments Service said the enclosure may have held animals, or it may have been a ringfort where a farmer’s family lived. The tree line is located on the current border of the town of Cashel and may mark a boundary dating back to the time of the enclosure, she added.
