    Was looking for Roberts Cove on google maps and spotted this circle (hard not to spot).

    Any ideas what it is? Looks to be about 50m in diameter. Would it be a meteor creator?

    More like a ring fort or fairy fort.

    The fact that it is not planted like the rest of the field would lead one to belive that it's a fairy fort.

    I don't think they can, they're just being presumptuous. I thought the same thing, so I'm going to go one step further than that person and use the word "fact" in my post, in the required fashion for someone trying to look knowledgeable. FACT.
