What is recorded here

A circular ring-ditch visible as a crop mark on an aerial photograph (SMR file; pers. comm. T. Condit). Situated within an open field of tillage on what was once one of Belcamp College's playing pitches jc.70m north of a steep scarp which descends to a stream known as Belcamp River (Mac Shamhráin 1984, 141). There is a tradition of a ringfort on the grounds of the Oblate College at Belcamp Hall. It appears as a cropmark on an aerial photograph (OS 5092) and is visible on Bing aerial (viewed 27/01/2015). The cropmark is almost circular in plan (diam. c. 25m). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: David O’Connor Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 27 January 2015
