Ring-ditch in Lugmore

Ring-ditch

What is recorded here

Ring-ditch in Lugmore: ghost circles in Tallaght Hill grass, visible only from above near the cist and barrow. Ground walkers pass through nothing; birds or cameras reveal the hidden shapes. The land keeps its own map, waiting for the right height and angle.
In rough pasture on Tallaght Hill to the S of a cist burial and ring-barrow (SMR 21:52/53). An oblique aerial photograph taken by Leo Swan in the 1980s shows traces of possible ring-ditches visible as vegetation marks. Not visible at ground level.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
