What is recorded here
A group of six ring-ditches situated in a slight hollow on a fairly level landscape are placed c. 100m apart on land that was once part of the demesne of Headfort House. They are visible only on Apple Maps, which utilises a survey conducted by Bluesky International during June 2018. This is a subcircular feature (diam. c. 25m) defined by a single continuous fosse feature (Wth c. 2m). The complex was first reported by Anthony Murphy.
