A few bits to look at.
There is the starfort - 44°49'23.58" N 20°27'01.33" E - which appears to be missing one half (at least) of it's original structure.
The island, highlighted in the first pic above, looked like this back in 1944 - 44°50'15.97" N 20°25'37.53" E
There are remnants visible of a field system (probably not so much an 'island' at some point in time).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is the most probable layout of the original canal system:
Colm had a fantastic flash of insight recently - he theorises that when the floods came (a major one, at least), the canal system was overwhelmed by the vast flow of water, but still managed to channel some of that water along the original path of the sub canal, which then smashed into the starfort as it came round the bend and encountered the starfort structure. See illustration below.
This could explain why half of the starfort is missing (in this case, at least). It was smashed and washed away by an enormous flow of water.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back in 1944, on the opposite south-west side of the bank to the remains of the starfort, there appears to have been one of Mikes (13thmonkey) traingular sound wave devices. You can also see that the eastern side of island mentioned above was also almost totally submerged.
A closer look:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Close by, at 44°45'49.26" N 20°39'23.31" E - there is field system, some perfectly intact triangulated canal system and translucent soil. Plenty of fields and soil in this area, in fact.
